Days passed, and my life began to feel more normal. With the new leads Ray and I gave them, they were able to catch a terrorist organization based in China. Apparently, China built underground tunnels to Japan and the tunnels contained large bases for human trafficking and experimentation, specifically on children. Because the base was mostly underground, it was difficult to find obvious clues. Without Ray's or mine testimony, the farms would've continued. Over 1,000 children were rescued from the farms and were either reunited with parents or brought back to their country of origin.
Ray settled into his life here, and became close with everyone on Karasuno and a few people from other teams. He was particularly fond of Kuroo, though he would never admit it.
—------------------------------
"Wow, you were right Shoyo, Ray really does look like Kuroo."
"I say you look like an onion, nothing like me."
"Y'know saying that means that you think you look like an onion." Kenma deadpans.
"Look at him, he's a bookworm, we're nothing alike!"
"Maybe if you read some books you'd be able to see the similarities." Ray mutters just loud enough for Kuroo to hear.
"Hey-!" Kenma kicks Kuroo to stop him from spouting any more nonsense.
"Come on guys! We're playing two on two volleyball, remember!" I suggested this hangout so that Ray and Kuroo could meet, and I could see Kozume again. I had gotten Ray into volleyball a while ago, and while he was more in it for the strategic aspect, I could tell he enjoyed playing it, but he still wouldn't join the team. He was more invested in his college courses because he quickly tested out of the high school subjects.
I thought about testing out of high school, but I wanted to keep playing volleyball. While I no longer needed volleyball to function, I still really enjoy it, and don't want to stop just to go to college. I feel like I missed out on so many things being in the orphanage, and high school has become a way to make up for lost memories.
After being able to share my experiences more freely with people, I've come to terms with what happened as a child and have been able to move on instead of dwelling in the past. After working through the past trauma, I have been able to fully enjoy my time as a student athlete.

A/N: Hello! I'm sorry that this ending is kinda rushed. I really want to work on a different HaikyuuxTPN story, but I couldn't get myself to work on it with this fic still unfinished. I wanted to give some closure at least. I'm happy to answer any questions regarding plot holes, but other than that, I hope you have a blessed day <3.
