You joined late. Not late in the season — late in the system. A transfer. A walk-on. Someone who had raw instincts, sharp serves, and a spine that didn’t break under Oikawa’s tests.

At first, they didn’t know what to do with you. You weren’t flashy like Oikawa or explosive like Iwaizumi. You didn’t crave attention — but you understood the game. You studied it. Breathed it. Predicted it.

Eventually, Oikawa took notice. And then, he started calling plays with you in mind. Not as a replacement — but as a shadow. A weapon for the plays no one sees coming.

Seijoh started building around that: the plan B that became their plan A. And even now, the team jokes you’re their best-kept secret — even when you’re the one cleaning up their messes in-game with terrifying consistency.

Because when Aoba Johsai is in trouble, it’s you they turn to. And win or lose, you never let them fall alone.
