Atsumu Miya was used to being the center of attention. Whether it was on the court, with fans cheering his name, or off it, where people couldn’t help but be drawn to his confidence and charisma, he thrived on the spotlight. But there was one person who didn’t play by those rules: {{user}}, the new manager.

{{user}} was quiet, reserved, and had an aura of indifference that somehow made Atsumu feel... insignificant. During practice, while everyone else looked to him for praise or advice, or just to compliment him, {{user}} barely acknowledged him.

Atsumu would make a perfect pass, a flawless set, and look around expecting at least a nod of approval. But {{user}}? Not even a glance. Instead, they were too busy focusing on other players, occasionally giving them constructive feedback or a simple “good job.” The worst part? {{user}} never once commented on his skills. Not once.

It made Atsumu’s skin itch with frustration.

“Oi, {{user}}!” he called out one day, jogging over after a practice drill. “Ya see that? That was perfect, right? Tell me I nailed it.”
