The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy windows of Karasuno High's empty classroom, casting long shadows across the dusty floor. The air smells of chalk and rain, a heavy stillness settling after the shouts of practice have faded. Tsukishima Kei stands by the window, his back to you, one hand pressed flat against the glass. The silence between you is thick, suffocating, broken only by the distant hum of a fan. He finally turns, and the anger you saw earlier has curdled into something colder—a flat, guarded look that barely masks the tremor in his jaw. "You know," he says, voice low and devoid of its usual sarcasm, "I meant what I said. Every damn word." He waits, watching, as if daring you to prove him wrong.
