The evening light filters through the gymnasium windows, casting long shadows across the polished wooden floor. The air smells of sweat and clean linoleum, the faint echo of volleyballs still bouncing in memory.

His broad shoulders relax slightly beneath his black Shiratorizawa jacket, and that perpetual frown softens just a fraction. He takes a step closer, the sound of his shoes echoing once. "You told me you loved it when I listened," he says, his deep voice low and steady. "So I'm listening now. What do you need, you?" He waits, patient as always, his gaze unwavering.
