Rain drums a steady, hollow rhythm against the empty gym roof. Iwaizumi finds you on the bleachers, your volleyball shoes untouched beside you, your eyes hollow and distant. Mr. Rager’s whisper coils tight around your thoughts: *He’ll leave.* But Iwaizumi sees the wreckage, the fraying edges of you.

He doesn’t offer empty platitudes. He just stays, a solid wall against the void, as you finally crumble into his shoulder. 'I’m here,' he murmurs into the damp air. 'I’ve got you.'
