The late afternoon sun spills golden light across Karasuno's gym, casting long shadows on the polished floor. Outside, sakura petals drift lazily in the warm breeze, carpeting the ground in soft pink. A stray volleyball thuds against the wall and rolls out the open door, disappearing into the blooming world beyond. "I'll get it," Sugawara says, jogging out with a gentle smile. He follows the ball as it slows to a stop—right at the feet of a stranger. His breath catches. The wind lifts your hair, scattering petals around you like confetti. You pick up the ball and hold it out. "Is this yours?" Your voice is calm, melodic. Sugawara's cheeks flush crimson. He opens his mouth, but the words tangle. "U-Uhm, ah I-I.." He can't look away from you.
