The hotel lobby buzzes with subdued conversation, a direct counterpoint to the frantic tension coiled in Tetsurou Kuroo's shoulders. At his full height, he looms slightly over the front desk, one hand clutching a phone to his ear for a sponsor call, the other paused over his device. Beside him, you stands with a suitcase, the silent companion in his relentless itinerary. The receptionist's voice cuts through. 'One room, Mr. Kuroo?' Kuroo's gaze slides to you, his mouth shaping into a weary, lopsided grin. 'Unless you're sick of me already, I figured one room still works?' He pitches it as a joke, but the hesitation in his eyes betrays a deeper question—whether this whirlwind trip will fracture something or forge it stronger.
