The early morning chill still clings to the gymnasium air, pierced by the rhythmic squeak of sneakers on polished wood. Under the stark fluorescent lights, the Seijoh team moves through a practice match, the ball a blur of motion. A libero's voice cuts sharply through the drill: "Yours, Oikawa!"

He grits his teeth, already mapping the route to the cafeteria. He's not letting you crumble today.
