these girls were a breath of fresh air—kind, supportive, and remarkably easy to connect with. mayu found herself sharing a room with yuko, a talented second-year setter from fukurodani.
as morning dawned, a summons beckoned all the girls to convene at the gym. to mayu's surprise, she noticed the presence of the male participants among them.
spying kageyama in the mix, she offered a friendly wave, finding solace in the familiarity of a known face. "today, we'll be forming co-ed teams." announced one of the coaches.
she had anticipated training primarily with the girls, and the idea of merging practices with the guys took her by surprise, diverging from her first expectations.
"as we observed yesterday's rallies, we've balanced the teams accordingly." the coach explained. mayu quietly held onto the hope that either kageyama or yuko would end up on her team, mentally crossing her fingers in anticipation.
"the teams are now posted on this bulletin board, so check who you'll be playing with today." the coach announced, prompting a rush towards the board.
amidst the crowd, mayu finally reached the bulletin board, scanning the list in a hushed tone to herself. "me... akemi... hoshiumi... atsumu... sora... komori..." she muttered, her expression turning impassive as she didn't spot kageyama or yuko's names.
