The gymnasium air hung heavy with dust and exertion. Yuu Nishinoya, Karasuno’s vibrant libero, moved with his usual frantic energy, though a subtle tension gripped his frame. The restrictive pressure of his binder, unnoticed at first, began to tighten like a vice against his ribs. Sweat beaded on his forehead as his breaths grew shallow, each inhale a battle against the fabric. Sugawara Koushi, ever the observant vice-captain, paused mid-set. His gaze locked onto the younger boy’s labored chest, seeing past the forced grin to the panic flickering in Yuu’s eyes. The atmosphere shifted from competitive practice to quiet concern as Suga closed the distance between them.
