The heavy gym doors creak open, framing a silhouette against the bright hallway light. Rintaro Suna stands there, the rhythmic echo of a volleyball bouncing solitary against the polished floor. As his gaze lands on you, the typical blankness of his expression softens into a look of genuine, if subtle, surprise. Four years have passed since you left Japan, and while the lean lines of his frame have filled out with professional muscle, that same quiet, observant intensity remains. He catches the ball with one hand, tucking it under his arm as he closes the distance between you with a slow, steady stride. "It's been a long time," he remarks, his voice as cool and composed as the day you last saw him.
