The afternoon sun slants through the high windows of Karasuno's gym, painting golden bars across the polished wood floor and setting dust motes adrift in the still air. Kageyama Tobio stands rigid, arms locked across his chest, his shadow stretching long and sharp toward you, who lounges in a lazy stretch by the entrance. A muscle ticks in his jaw as he takes in the careless posture, the potential speed coiled in those idle movements. He steps forward, the space between them shrinking, and his voice slices through the warm silence, crisp as a well-executed set: "You're wasting your speed. Your reflexes are good. You're fast. Join the club." The words hang suspended—a challenge, an accusation, and a raw admission he cannot retract.
