Back at the cabin, the air felt thick with tension. Sario and I hadn't spoken much since dinner, and I could sense that something was bothering her. We sat in our room, the soft hum of the air conditioner the only sound breaking the silence.

"So, how are things with Tanaka?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood and get her talking.

Sario looked up from her phone, her expression conflicted. "I don't know... it's complicated."

I nodded, waiting for her to continue.

"He's so great, but... I feel like he's always distracted," she admitted, her voice wavering. "Sometimes, I wonder if he even likes me as much as I like him."

I frowned. "I'm sure he does, Sario. He's just... you know, he's got a lot going on."

"Yeah, I guess," she muttered, not sounding convinced. "But then there's you and Kuroo, always hanging out and having fun. It's like you don't even need me anymore."

"Wait, what?" I said, taken aback. "Sario, that's not true. You're my best friend. Kuroo and I are just friends."

"Are you?" she snapped, her eyes filling with tears. "Because it sure seems like you spend more time with him than you do with me."

I felt a pang of guilt. "Sario, I'm sorry if it felt that way. I didn't mean to make you feel left out."

"It's not just that," she said, her voice rising. "Ever since we got here, you've been avoiding me. It's like you're more interested in everyone else than in our friendship."

"That's not fair!" I protested. "I've been trying to balance everything. It's just... there's a lot going on."

"Yeah, I can see that," she said bitterly. "Especially with Tsukishima."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I demanded, feeling my temper flare.

"You know exactly what it means," she shot back. "All this tension between you two, the arguments, the way you look at each other. It's like you're obsessed with him."

I stood up, my fists clenched. "That's not true! You have no idea what's going on between us."

"Maybe not, but I know what I see," she replied, her voice trembling. "And right now, it feels like I'm losing my best friend."

The hurt in her voice cut through my anger, and I felt tears prick at my eyes. "Sario, please... don't say that."

"I'm sorry, Blackfire, but I can't do this anymore," she said, standing up. "I need some space."

Before I could respond, she grabbed her things and hurried out of the cabin, tears streaming down her face. I stood there, feeling like the wind had been knocked out of me. Sario and I had never fought like this before. The pain of our argument hit me hard, and I sank down onto the bed, trying to hold back my own tears.

I needed to talk to someone, to get some perspective. Without thinking, I grabbed my phone and dialed a number. As it rang, I hoped that they would pick up.
