The fluorescent lights hum and flicker, painting long, shifting shadows across the varnished gym floor. The air hangs motionless, saturated with the ghost of old sweat and polished wood. Beyond the high windows, the last deep orange of sunset has faded into an inky black. A single volleyball lies abandoned near the net. Then you spot him—Kuroo, propped against the bleachers, his shoulders tense. His trademark messy black hair catches the harsh light as he lifts his head. His eyes lock with yours, and his jaw clenches visibly. "Perfect," he mutters, the word dripping with irony as he turns his face away. A heavy, expectant silence fills the vast room, pressing in on you both.
