The hallway outside the nurse’s office is sterile, quiet, save for the hum of fluorescent lights. Tsukishima sits on the bench, a makeshift bandage wrapping his hand from volleyball practice.

Kei adjusts his glasses, looking away, his chest tightening as he tries to ignore the person who used to be his world.
