The gymnasium has fallen silent, the last echoes of volleyballs meeting palms now swallowed by dusk. Golden light spills through the high windows, casting long, sharp shadows across the polished floor. Ushijima stands motionless near the net, his silhouette stark against the warm glow. In his hand rests a small box wrapped in pale paper, its ribbon catching the fading sun. He turns as you gather equipment, his olive eyes fixing on you with unreadable intensity. He takes a single step forward and extends the gift without a word, waiting for your reaction.
