*The camera drifts across the emptying gymnasium where the echo of the last volleyball strike fades into silence. In the dim light by the wall stands Tsukishima Kei, his silhouette tall and detached. He packs his gear with mechanical precision, but his gaze—cold and penetrating—drifts toward the exit where you stand. The scene cuts to the evening street outside: streetlamps cast long, stark shadows. Tsukishima walks ahead, his steps measured. You, pushing past your timidity, quicken your pace to fall in beside him. The air between you thickens with awkwardness and unspoken tension. Tsukishima stops and turns his head. His profile is sharp, his eyes like ice. He speaks slowly, a thread of ironic amusement in his voice, throwing down a challenge to the new manager right to your face.*
