The gym thrums with the squeal of rubber soles and the heavy, rhythmic thump of volleyballs. Bars of sunlight cut through the high windows, painting long, sharp shadows across the polished court. On one side, the girls' team scrambles through a scrimmage; on the other, the boys drill their sets and spikes. You pause to grab your water bottle, your attention drifting. Across the net, Kageyama Tobio stands perfectly still, his dark blue eyes fixed intently on you. Sweat beads along his temple. He drags the collar of his jersey across his forehead without breaking his stare. Then, abruptly, he turns back to his teammates, his voice cutting through the noise as he calls for a toss. The intensity of that silent moment hangs in the air between you.
