Summary
“Borderland offers endless possibilities.”
The flashes were all simply part of a bad dream at the beginning, but as he nears the possible end, Arisu might have to accept that they’re real.
OR…
My take on what the season three teaser means, in story format. (Aka, here’s some bits I was able to piece together in the teaser.)

Summary
“It’s like Secret Santa, but instead of getting gifts for Christmas, we make lists of things we appreciate about each other, and then put them in stockings!” Tatta explains animatedly, with Heiya nodding along.
“Why stockings?” Arisu asks, looking genuinely curious. “It’s July.”
“…I didn’t think about that part.”
OR…
The Borderlands gang has an appreciation party.

Summary
The air slips out of Niragi’s lungs as he whirls around to stare at the mob of people. Someone knows. Someone knows him from his past life of baseballs hurled his way and insults flung like stones.
“Are you okay?” Tatta asks, clearly alarmed by his sudden change in demeanor.
“No. No, no, no,” Niragi hisses, because the fact that someone knows means he’s not safe anymore, not safe in this skin he’s grown far too comfortable in.
OR…
Niragi struggles with pushing people away.

Summary
“I just don’t understand,” Arisu says, looking passively at anything except for Chishiya, before his eyes settle in a soft way onto the doctor’s face. “Did I do something? What did I do? Just tell me what it is that I did wrong, and I’ll fix it. I swear.”
Chishiya swallows, malice aimed at himself boiling up because of Arisu’s pleading tone. How does he tell him that this is the problem? That Arisu is too good for him.
OR…
Modern-AU Chirisu where Arisu and Chishiya need to sit down and talk about their feelings but they’re severely allergic to that apparently. Eventually, they talk.

Summary
The first instinct is to feel betrayal, like she’d shown on the hill, but she doesn’t know if that’s fair.
Niragi and Chishiya had helped them so much during their time at the Beach, in their own distinct ways. The night falls, but Usagi can’t stop tossing and turning, to the point where she feels sick after a restless sleep the next morning.
All she wants is closure, but where will she get any of that?
OR…
Usagi just doesn’t know how to feel after the Ten of Hearts.

Summary
"Missing Karasuno High Students Found After Over Seventeen Hours"
That's what all the news headlines said on the morning of March 9th 2013. On the day the Karasuno students were finally found again. On the day they were brought to the hospital after they'd been stuck in the woods for what seemed like ages, all of them injured. They'd gone through hardships, but now they'd been brought back alive. To any outsider, that sounded like something to celebrate.
For team Karasuno, it didn't feel like there was anything to celebrate at all. In the past hours, it had become clear that not everything was miraculously "fixed" now that they’d been rescued. In contrary, even.
Now, some of them had to deal with the life-changing injuries they had suffered, while the others had to face the traumatizing memories of surviving a bus crash each time they closed their eyes.None of them knew how to act or feel about what had happened. Because what are you supposed to feel when you survive a bus crash?
It would take time, but it was up to the Karasuno students themselves to find the answer to that question.

Summary
It starts out like a fun idea: the Karasuno Volleyball Club traveling South to meet their rival teams for a training camp in Tokyo. Having full faith in their bus driver, Takeda, the team dozes off during the long drive. They’ve been driving through the woods for hours now, after all, and it’s already gotten dark.
Little do they know that this drive was never meant to be this long, and that Takeda is horrendously lost.
It gets worse from there – when, disoriented by the darkness and tiredness, Takeda makes a mistake while driving. A mistake that results in the bus rolling down a slope.
Just like that, Team Karasuno is hurt and stranded in the middle of nowhere, struggling to survive. All they can do, except take care of their wounds and one another, is wait, and wait, and wait for someone to find them.
They wish they’d turned around when they still had the chance.
