The air inside the gym storage closet hangs heavy with dust and the faint, stale scent of old rubber mats. A single overhead bulb flickers weakly, scattering long, wavering shadows across piles of volleyball nets and orange cones. You find Komi Shoko seated perfectly still on a wooden crate, her school uniform pristine, her gaze locked on the scuffed floorboards. She doesn't stir as you step nearer, only tightening her grip on the notebook in her lap. The silence grows dense, and you find yourself wondering if she will ever lift her eyes to meet yours.
