love me back. mayu had chosen to maintain silence around iwaizumi ever since serina's public confession, yet she couldn't quite understand why she was acting this way.
it was obvious to iwaizumi, who attempted to initiate conversations, only to be met with her abrupt exits, leaving a pang of sadness in him.
she assumed iwaizumi had accepted serina's confession, a thought that haunted her incessantly, impeding her ability to concentrate during practice. despite never having dated iwaizumi, it felt like her first real heartbreak.
the day before the nationals followed mayu's usual routine—a busy one. her pre-tournament ritual involved retreating to the backyard at night to meditate.
her family had grown accustomed to this practice, allowing her the peace she craved. tooru occasionally attempted to join her, but she always declined.
"remember not to stay out too late, mayu!" her father called as she settled into a chair outside. "got it!" she assured him.
finally alone, she inserted her earphones and began listening to white noise, a method she usually employed to focus. however, tonight was different; she needed to distract herself from thoughts of iwaizumi.
