Summary
Hinata is born with his wing bones fractured so badly that they have barely grown at all. They don’t, even as he ages, even through countless visits to countless doctors. The wing analyzer his mother takes him to tells him this: You’ll yearn, and yearn, and yearn, so bad you swear you can feel your wings fluttering on your back, stretching out for flight. But you will never amount to anything, just as your wings will not.
Hinata is determined to prove her wrong.

Summary
Standing on the lineup as the only grounded players to ever make the Olympic team might be discouraging. It might make Hinata wish he could magically grow wings and be just like everyone else, to avoid all the wide-eyed looks and slights towards them. Hinata might wonder if he really does deserve to be here, amongst the most talented volleyball players in the world.
But it doesn’t. There’s strength in knowing he’s paving brand new ground for himself and others. There’s pride in knowing he’s become worthy of standing on the Olympic stage, even with non-functional wings. There’s drive in knowing he’s made it past countless obstacles he thought he never could surpass.
