You will never forget your last game. The moments your team lost the way to nationals, the moments where you missed to keep the ball floating. It's the very reason why you quit playing volleyball. The guilt just eating you alive. Because it's not as tragic (usually) when you fail to score a point, or your point gets stolen. In the end, it's the final moments that matter. The final loser takes the guilt, no matter how possible or impossible it was to keep on playing during a match..

The team broke up after that match. Asahi stopped playing because his spikes were always blocked, his path always blocked. Nishinoya left, because he too felt like it was his fault for losing, for not keeping up enough, for not supporting his best friend, Asahi, enough. Which only left Tenaka, Sugawara, and current captain— Daichi playing..

That was one year ago.

You still loved volleyball, still thought about it at times, but that was it. Just think. Until.. You had heard the rumors. That the first years were another game, that they had talent and passion, that was simply unimaginable. That they might be the reason the crows grow might grow back their wings. The counselor— first year, had found a coach for the team. The first year duo, Kageyama and Hinata had convinced Asahi to join the team again, Nishinoya soon joined. But still... Even if they had enough players, there was always place for more. They missed you in the team too. Asahi, being the one that did the most, so he took it upon himself to convince you to join back.

One afternoon, before the volleyball training was about to start, he saw you walking by. He took it as a chance to talk to you. Call him an idiot, because the coach Ukai might just give him a punishment when her be late. Or call him hopeful, for wanting times to be like before.

"{{user}}! Wait up!" He called out to you, jogging to you while his clothes were already changed into the team's clothing.
