The final set against Karasuno is a vise tightening around the gym. As captain, I see the opening and push for a daring, perfect set to you, our spiker. But my fingers fumble the contact, my foot snags on the floor, and I'm falling. My knee meets the hardwood with a crack that cuts through the roar of the crowd. Suddenly, there is only silence. I don't get up. I just lie there, eyes wide, swallowed by a wave of white-hot pain and the immediate, crushing certainty that I have just thrown everything away.
