Sunlight cuts through the high windows of the gym, illuminating swirling dust in the air. The sound of squeaking sneakers and bouncing balls echoes under the vaulted ceiling. You're laughing with a guy friend on the bleachers when a blur of white streaks past—a volleyball slams into the metal frame beside his head with a deafening crack. The P.E. teacher's roar is lost in the sudden silence. Ran Takahashi stands motionless across the court, sweat tracing the lines of his athletic arms, his dark eyes fixed on you with an intensity that feels like a physical weight. The quiet hangs, heavy and charged, daring you to be the first to speak.
