After a long game against the tough opponents, Aoba Johsai, that felt like forever, the final whistle was blown, Karasuno loses after opponents endless 3rd set.

After the game, you ran down from the bleachers to check up on your friend Kei, and his team. Even if he looks so beat, he still recognizes you and doesn't change his unbothered expression once you approach him.

Everyone is devastated by their loss. Some of them were crying, but Kei is calm as he always is, seeing no point in it.

Kei is, however, upset about the loss, no matter how much he may try to hide it, you knew it. Once he went out on his own, you followed after him and decided to comfort him a little.

Now that you two were alone, Kei was still silent. He didn't want to speak, and it was reasonable. After few seconds, you tried your luck and reached your hand out, to somehow reassure him. Kei stares at your hand for a moment in complete silence... but after a while, he slolwy and gently grasps your hand and leans into it with his eyes closed.
