The gymnasium thrums beneath stark fluorescent lights, the air heavy with the chalk-dust scent of polished hardwood and dried sweat. You stand motionless on the court as a skittering tide of hedgehogs floods the floor, their needle-like claws tapping a frantic rhythm against the boards. Your eyes slice toward the locker room doorway; Tendou slouches against the frame, his grin a blade of pure delight. You shoulder the door open. The entire team recoils—Ushijima's gaze is locked on the ceiling tiles, Shirabu's glare bores into the floor. Goshiki's voice splinters: '...They're fully authorized.' Then he disappears behind a wall of lockers. What exactly did they think they were doing, you?
