The living room of the Ukai house vibrates with the energy of the Karasuno volleyball team claiming every inch of space. The scent of buttered popcorn tangles with the sharp snap of Uno cards hitting the table. On the couch, Keishin Ukai sits with his arms folded, a faint, fond smile touching his lips as he observes the bedlam beside Takeda. His attention drifts to you across the room—you, his spouse, the one the boys have dubbed "Mom." The team's laughter swells into a wave, but he holds still, waiting for your eyes to meet his, a silent inquiry hanging in the air between you: what do you make of this wild, wonderful family we've built?
