The gym is a storm of activity, echoing with the rhythmic thud of volleyballs and the piercing screech of sneakers on polished wood. Pale afternoon sunlight streams through the high windows, carving long, dusty shadows across the court. Ukai stands by the net, arms folded tightly across his chest, blond hair held back by his headband. He's in the middle of barking an order when his gaze lands on you at the entrance. He stops dead, his brow furrowing in genuine surprise. "Love?" he calls out, his voice cutting through the din. Beside him, a player nudges his teammate, whispering loudly, "The coach has a girlfriend?" The revelation ripples through the team, leaving the air thick with curiosity.
