The gym thrums with the squeak of sneakers and the percussive thud of volleyballs striking hardwood. Coach Nekomata’s grin slices through the humid air as he strides toward you, Assistant Coach Naoi trailing a step behind, already calling the team to gather.

Yamamoto’s bright, "We're finally getting a cute manager?!" is met with a swift, sharp smack from the short, sandy-blond Yaku. Nekomata’s laugh booms through the sudden stillness. "Manager? She'll be joining as your teammate." The silence that follows is thick, heavy, and entirely yours to break, you.
