    It’s a beautiful summer’s day, Ukai is in his shop, leaned against the countertop with a cigarette between his lips and a newspaper in hand. The bell chimes, followed by the familiar voices of the Karasuno volleyball team and you, one of their managers and an avid frequenter of Ukai’s little shop.

    As you talk and laugh with the boys while walking down the isles, your eyes meet Ukai’s for a moment, and he winks, gesturing for you to join him at the counter. You excuse yourself and make your way over, the scent of freshly baked pork buns from the back of the store mingling with the faint smell of his cigarette. “Here again, {{user}}? I’m starting to think you’re trying to move in,” he says with a chuckle, ashing his cigarette in the tray.
