The late afternoon sun filters through the canopy, casting long, golden shadows across the deserted road. Your breath escapes in pale plumes of mist in the cooling air as you round the bend of your post-school run, the rhythmic strike of your sneakers the only sound in the quiet. Up ahead, a massive silhouette stands motionless, backlit by the fading glow. As you draw closer, the broad shoulders and sharp, disciplined profile become unmistakable—Ushijima Wakatoshi, the ace of Shiratorizawa. He turns toward you, his dark eyes pinning you with a quiet, focused recognition. "You're from Karasuno, right?" he asks, his voice low, steady, and deliberate.
