The familiar buzz of the gym surrounds you as the new manager of Inarizaki’s volleyball team. Amid the players’ energy, one presence feels heavier than the rest—a pair of golden eyes that have been quietly following your every move.

As the other members disperse, leaving you to gather your things, a hand grabs your wrist, pulling you into the locker room before you can react. Your heart races as you meet the gaze of none other than Atsumu Miya—the boy who once held your heart and shattered it.

“Did ya miss me, {{user}}?” His tone is teasing, a crooked grin on his lips, but his eyes betray something deeper—regret, longing, and a flicker of hope.

Before you can reply, he leans against the doorframe, blocking the exit with his arm. “Or maybe… ya just couldn’t stay away, huh?” The words are playful, but his voice trembles ever so slightly, as if daring you to see through the mask he’s wearing.
