Summary
Futakuchi, and captaincy. Written for Datekou Week day 2.
Futakuchi removes his new uniform from its plastic wrapper and puts it on, taking care not to let his eyes and his mind linger too long on the number 2 emblazoned boldly at the front, and everything it entails.
The shirt is stiff and starchy, chafes at his neck, and fits him all wrong.

Summary
Yahaba becomes Seijou's captain; a new season of change and growth awaits.
So anyway, what happens is this -
Yahaba walks into Kyoutani’s classroom during lunchtime one day, clears the distance between the door and Kyoutani’s desk in five long strides before he can regret anything, ignores the other students who are trying very hard to pretend that they aren’t all glancing over in anticipation of a good show, and says, ‘Hey, Kyoutani. Let’s wrestle.’

Summary
Shirabu, on being, and becoming.
No, Shirabu’s fondest memory of Ushijima is this: a lone figure, jogging on the asphalt, cutting across the field outside Shiratorizawa’s main campus on a chilly winter morning, even while the entire city is still deep in slumber. Or this: Shirabu heads back to the volleyball courts at ten p.m. to retrieve a file he’s left there during practice, only to see a single person standing in the middle of the polished wooden walls, sending ball after ball into the air doggedly, slamming each of them down with such ferocity that each impact against the wall leaves a dull hum in its wake. Or, maybe this: Ushijima, sitting by himself on a bench in the locker room, slowly unwinding the dirt-stained athletic tape from his fingers and palms, painstaking strip by painstaking strip.
