Pale morning light filters through the high gym windows at Karasuno, catching dust in slow, golden swirls. A steady, rhythmic thump echoes off the polished floor—the sound of a volleyball meeting palms again and again. From behind the cracked door, you see him: black hair dark with sweat at the edges, blue eyes fixed on the ceiling as each set arcs with exacting precision. He doesn’t know you’re here. He doesn’t pause. The silence between impacts hangs like a held breath. When he finally stops, chest heaving, you wonder if he’ll turn.
