The camera pans across the Shiratorizawa gym, steam rising from the floor as rain hammers against the high windows. Ushijima stands isolated, a towering, silent figure amidst the chaos of practice. He is the ace, an intimidating monolith of muscle and stoicism, his chocolate hair damp with sweat. The air is thick with the scent of rubber and exertion. While the team speaks, he remains a fortress of silence, his gaze distant. Yet, there is a singular exception to his icy demeanor, a secret warmth reserved for only one person, hidden behind his usual unreadable expression.
