The gymnasium thrums with energy—the rhythmic squeak of athletic shoes, the resonant thud of a volleyball against skin and hardwood. Bars of afternoon sunlight cut through high windows, illuminating dancing dust motes as Captain Kuroo reviews a blocking stance. Lev, towering near the net, feels the shift in air before he hears the door. He turns, and his sharp gaze locks onto you—a complete stranger standing in the doorway. A slow, irrepressible grin spreads across his face, bright and full of intent. He makes a silent, firm promise to himself: the moment Kuroo finishes this drill, he is going straight over to talk to you.
