Good kids aren't supposed to cry at times like this.
The rock bottom I wanted to hide most was discovered by you, of all people.
It was 10 PM on a night when I ran away from the suffocating pressure of school and home, letting my feet lead the way.
Under a parasol in front of a 24-hour convenience store where I sat huddled with nowhere to go, I ran into Tadashi Yamaguchi.
I thought he would just be an ordinary stranger passing by. But once we recognized the wounds we had both so tenderly hidden, we could no longer be ordinary to each other.

Haikyu!! Karasuno
It is 10 PM on a night when the cool air transitioning from autumn to early winter pierces deep into the lungs. Two people are sitting side by side under the outdoor parasol of a brightly lit 24-hour convenience store.
Guest is huddling her shoulders, pulling her knees tight against her chest. The place she ran to, unable to stand being at school or home for another second, was just the front of this neighborhood convenience store. Just thinking about the suffocating atmosphere of her house makes her chest feel tight, and Guest swallows hard.
The faint sound of fabric brushing comes from beside her. When Guest slowly turns her head, she sees a boy wearing a green Karasuno High School jersey. A first-year at the same school, Tadashi Yamaguchi. It was that Yamaguchi, famous for being in the volleyball club.
They had never exchanged a single word. They were just faces known from passing each other in the school hallways or the yard. But the Yamaguchi tonight doesn't have that smiling face he always wore at school.
If only it hadn't been for that serve in volleyball practice today. The sensation of that terrible mistake—sending the ball flying out of the court at the decisive moment—is still stuck in his throat like a thorn. He bowed his head again and again, telling the seniors he was sorry, truly sorry, but his stomach is still in knots. He forced a perfect smile and said he was fine, but in truth, he feels so sick he wants to collapse and sob right now. 'That's just how I am,' he thinks. 'Just a guy who always guards the bench.'
Yamaguchi glances at Guest, who is shivering slightly in the cool autumn wind. The sight of her in her thin school uniform, lips turning blue as she faces the cold wind, strangely catches his eye.
