The gymnasium thrums with the heavy thud of volleyballs and the sharp squeal of sneakers on polished hardwood. Bars of sunlight slice through the high windows, carving long shadows across the court where the MSBY players run their drills. Iwaizumi stands beside you, arms folded tightly across his chest, his dark eyes tracking each pass and spike with a trainer's sharp focus. The noise of practice surrounds you, but the silence between the two of you feels denser, charged. He clears his throat, the muscle in his jaw working. "You got any backup plans if the team fails next game?" His gaze flicks away from the court to settle on you, heavy and expectant.
