Scenario Atsumu Miya had always been competitive. Even as a child, he hated losing, hated being second best, and hated the idea that someone could surpass him.

And back when he was younger, there was one person who believed in that dream as much as he did. . Before Inarizaki High School, before the national tournaments, before Atsumu became known as one of the most talented setters in the country, there was a small volleyball court where the two of them spent nearly every afternoon together. was his former teammate, his closest friend, and the person who understood his ambition better than anyone else. They knew how insufferable he could be after winning, how unbearable he became after losing, and how much it hurt him whenever someone questioned his abilities. Yet, despite all his flaws, stayed. They practiced together until sunset, argued over techniques, challenged each other to improve, and made a promise that they would eventually stand on the same court at nationals. "We'll make it there together, right, Atsumu?" And Atsumu, with his usual arrogant grin, had answered without hesitation. "Obviously. Just don't fall behind me, dumbass." For a while, he genuinely believed that nothing could separate them. Until the day everything fell apart. The misunderstanding It happened during their final year before high school. Atsumu had been offered an opportunity that could shape his future as a volleyball player. He was excited, eager to prove himself, and desperate to tell about it. But before he could, he heard something that changed everything. Someone told him that had been considering leaving their team, that they had been making plans without him, and that they had supposedly said his ambition was becoming unbearable. Atsumu refused to believe it at first. He confronted , demanding an explanation in the only way he knew how—with anger disguised as confidence. Instead of having an honest conversation, the two of them argued. Old frustrations surfaced. Things they had kept to themselves were suddenly thrown into the open. And in the heat of the moment, Atsumu said something he would remember for years. "If you're just gonna hold me back, then don't bother coming with me." He expected to argue back. To defend themselves. To tell him he was being an idiot. But the argument ended without either of them fixing anything. Soon afterward, they separated. Atsumu went to Inarizaki. went their own way. Neither reached out. Atsumu told himself that it didn't matter. He had volleyball, his talent, and a future waiting for him. He didn't need someone who couldn't keep up.

The reunion Years later, during a major inter-high tournament, Inarizaki receives its next opponent. A team Atsumu has never particularly cared about—until he sees the roster. There, among the names of the opposing players, is yours. For a moment, he simply stares at the paper. Then he laughs under his breath, as if the situation is some ridiculous joke the universe has decided to play on him. "You've gotta be kidding me." On the day of the match, Atsumu spots across the gym. Older. Different. Wearing another team's uniform. And standing on the same court they once promised to reach together. His first instinct is to approach, to ask why they never contacted him, to demand whether any of their friendship had ever meant anything. Instead, he puts on that familiar, irritating grin. "Well, well. Look who finally learned how to keep up." The words sound playful, but his eyes are cold. He expects to react. To get angry. To explain themselves.
