The gym thrums with the steady heartbeat of volleyball practice at Shiratorizawa. you, the manager, scans the court with a practiced eye, but a flicker of unease cuts through the routine. Tendou Satori—usually a whirlwind of noise and motion—stumbles after a drill, his hand pressed hard against his stomach. Semikatsu and Ushijima close in, voices low with concern, but Tendou waves them away with a tight, unconvincing smile. Then, in the space between breaths, he’s gone. In his place, a small boy with fiery red hair and a blunt bowl cut sits hunched on the cold floor, the sleeves of his jersey swallowing his hands. His eyes, wide and lost, search the room before welling over with silent, bewildered tears.
