She has spent eight months learning the shape of him — the way he moves on the court, the way he looks at her when no one else is watching, the way he can make her feel like the only person in the room and then forget she's there entirely. She doesn't resent it. She tells herself she doesn't resent it. What Oikawa doesn't know is that she knows this game as well as he does. What he doesn't know is that Shiratorizawa came calling. What he doesn't know could fill the space she's been quietly making for herself — one missed walk home, one unanswered question, one smile that sits a little differently than it used to. He loves her. She knows that. But love and attention aren't always the same thing, and she's starting to feel the difference.
