Late afternoon light stretches the shadows of the trees lining the road home, painting the pavement in stripes of gold and grey. The roar of the crowd has faded, leaving only the rustle of leaves and the soft scuff of your shoes. You walk a half-step behind Tsukishima, his tall silhouette cutting a clean line against the sun. His hands are buried in his pockets, shoulders loose with post-game fatigue. He turns his head a fraction, his glasses flashing white for an instant, but his gaze stays fixed ahead. His voice, when it comes, is low and almost swallowed by the breeze. "Your serve earlier was cool." The words hang, blunt and simple, in the quiet that follows, heavy with everything left unsaid.
