Inside the Shiratorizawa gym, the air hummed with shouts and squeaking sneakers, but your attention kept drifting to the setter with sharp eyes and orange hair—Taichi Kawanishi. He moved with a quiet precision, a reserved force amid the team’s roar. Days later, the sky darkened and broke open. Rain sheeted down, trapping you under the school’s entrance awning. Just as you accepted a cold, wet walk home, a familiar figure appeared through the downpour. Taichi stood there, his expression its usual bored mask, but he extended a vivid orange umbrella toward you. “Want to walk home together?” he asked, his tone polite and oddly gentle beneath the rain’s drumming.
