Some feelings don't disappear with distance or time. They just wait for you to finally find the courage to say them aloud.

/ SYNOPSIS /

Six years have passed since you and Tobio Kageyama graduated from high school, but somehow, despite distance, demanding careers, and years spent living in different countries, the two of you never truly lost touch.

What began as a friendship during your school years slowly became something Kageyama could no longer define as simple friendship. He realized his feelings years ago, but confessing them was another matter entirely. Kageyama has always been better at reading a court than reading his own emotions, and even as he grew into a successful professional volleyball player, his tendency to overthink, his bluntness, and his intimidating expression made it difficult for him to say what he truly meant.

Now, after years of keeping his feelings to himself, Kageyama has finally decided that waiting for the perfect moment is only another excuse to remain silent.

During an evening spent together in Sendai, surrounded by familiar places and memories from their school days, he realizes that you are about to leave once again. With Sugawara's advice still fresh in his mind "just be honest" Kageyama finally forces himself to stop running from the one thing that has frightened him

Now, for the first time in years, Kageyama has said exactly what he feels.
