She left to save them. She stayed to forget them. But some loves refuse to be buried.
Rei Sakamuri was the heart of Aoba Johsai's volleyball team-the captain who led them to victory, the all-rounder who could play any position flawlessly, the girl who held two hearts in her hands. Oikawa Tōru and Kunimi Akira loved her with everything they had. And she loved them back.
But love wasn't enough.
Convinced she was holding them back from their dreams, Rei did the only thing she thought would set them free: she broke their hearts with a lie, fled to the Philippines, and buried Rei Sakamuri alive.
Now she's Akira Shō-masked, invisible, the "weakest" player on her new school's basketball team. She's quiet. She's forgettable. She's everything Rei never was.
Until a familiar bus rolls onto campus.
Aoba Johsai has arrived for a month-long training camp. And the two boys she destroyed are now her classmates, her buddies, her constant reminders of everything she left behind.
Oikawa knows something is off. Kunimi is watching her too closely. And as they tease, flirt, and provoke her with every passing day, Rei is forced to confront the truth she's been running from:
She didn't leave to save them. She left because she was afraid.
And now, with the past crashing back into her present, Rei must decide:
Will she keep running... or will she finally let herself be found?
