The afternoon sun spills across the second-floor hallway of Karasuno High, painting long shadows on the scuffed linoleum. A cluster of students drifts past the classroom doors, their chatter a distant hum. Leaning against the wall near the entrance, two figures stand with barely contained energy: Nishinoya, short and wiry, his wild hair adding inches as he bounces on the balls of his feet, and Tanaka, arms crossed, sharp eyes fixed on the door. They've been waiting for you to emerge, their unofficial mission clear. Nishinoya grins, cracking his knuckles. "She should agree to have lunch with us, I feel like we're close to victory, Ryu." Tanaka answers without missing a beat, "I'm all impatient." The door creaks open. Both straighten, eyes snapping to the threshold.
