As night fell, they headed home. Aeris uncle dropped the kids off at their houses.

Aeris gave instructions to the older kids to take a bath and bathe the younger child. She read a book for Asahi, and he eventually fell asleep. She checked on the kids who were still awake but decided to let them off since it was the weekend. Aeris told them that she would be outside taking a breather.

With that, Aeris slipped on her jacket and stepped outside into the cool evening air. She walked leisurely, taking in the serene beauty of the moonlit night. It was then that she spotted the familiar figures of the twins, Atsumu and Osamu, making their way home.

Outside, Aeris encountered the twins on their way home. "Hey! Guys," she greeted them.

"What's up, Nanachan? How's Karasuno? I heard they beat Tokonami High School" Atsumu said.

"Yeah! Isn't that great?" Aeris replied proudly.

"How's school? Did you like it there? It took you some time to visit us," Osamu commented.

"Sorry about that. Many things have been happening, like becoming Karasuno's temporary coach to being their 'comage','" Aeris explained.

"'Comage'?" Atsumu questioned.

"One of my friends said it was 'Coach Manager,'" Aeris clarified with a laugh.

"You became their coach? I thought you wouldn't join the volleyball industry," Osamu said, surprised.

"After hanging out with you guys and with Karasuno, it made me realize how much I missed playing volleyball. That's why I decided to play again," Aeris replied with a smile.

"What!" the twins exclaimed, unable to believe their ears.

"Shhhh..." Aeris shushed them, glancing around to make sure no one overheard them.

"Really? I can't wait to play with you on the court," Atsumu eagerly said, his eyes lit up with excitement.

"Stupid! She's a woman, she can't play with us," Osamu blurted out, his doubt evident in his voice.

"I'll rally to the volleyball association, and they will organize a men vs. women game," Atsumu confidently announced. Aeris giggle at Atsumu's statement

As their conversation flowed, they talked about various aspects of their lives, including school, volleyball, and more.

⊂•Monday Early Morning•⊃

Aeris woke up early to the sound of her alarm clock, groggily rubbing her eyes as she realized what day it was. Today, she had an important flight to catch. 

She hastily put on her school uniform and rushed downstairs, where she found her aunt and uncle waiting for her with warm smiles on their faces. Her heart swelled with gratitude. "Thank you for waking up so early," Aeris said, feeling lucky to have such supportive family members.
