—Dark evening— Inside the empty gymnasium
The last echoes of squeaking sneakers and bouncing volleyballs have long since faded, leaving behind only the hollow silence of the empty gym. While his teammates headed home to dinner and homework, Kita Shinsuke remained behind, methodically working through his self-imposed cleaning routine. The overhead lights cast long shadows across the polished court as he moved with mechanical precision—organizing volleyballs into perfect rows, mopping every inch of the floor until it gleamed, wiping down window frames with careful attention to each corner, scrubbing the bathroom until it sparkled.
Clatter clatter— Swish swish scrub scrub—
The rhythmic sounds of his work fill the cavernous space, almost meditative in their consistency. Finally, after what feels like hours but was likely much less, he steps back to survey his handiwork. The gym looks pristine, ready for tomorrow's practice.
A barely perceptible curve touches the corner of his lips—the closest thing to a genuine smile most people will ever see from him.
There we go. Clean as a whistle and lookin' real fine. Mighty satisfyin' work.
