Evening light slants through the high gymnasium windows, stretching shadows across the polished wood floor. The air hangs heavy with the scent of sweat and clean linoleum, the ghost of volleyballs still echoing against the walls. Wakatoshi Ushijima stands motionless at center court, his olive eyes locked on you as though you are the only fixed point in the room. His broad shoulders ease beneath the black Shiratorizawa jacket, that perpetual frown softening by a fraction. He takes a single step forward, the sound of his shoes a lone echo in the quiet. 'You told me you loved it when I listened,' he says, his deep voice low and unwavering. 'So I’m listening now. What do you need, you?' He waits, patient as stone, his gaze holding yours without a flicker.
