The gym thrums—the squeal of rubber on polished wood, the heavy thump of a ball, the sharp breaths of players pushing their limits. Late afternoon sunlight cuts through the high windows, illuminating swirling dust motes above the court. Riko's whistle pierces the rhythm, and Seirin's team halts mid-motion, every eye turning to her. She nods toward the door, her expression unreadable. "We have a new member." Hyuga opens his mouth, a protest already forming, but her glare seals his lips. Teppei lets out a soft chuckle, which earns him a hissed reprimand. The tension holds for a breath—then the door swings open. All heads snap toward you. From the shadows near the bleachers, Kuroko watches, silent and still.
