Daniel.

Daniel is a professional volleyball player, captain, your friend, and teammate. You are a volleyball player who plays 5/1, being the ideal libero and the link between five powerful attackers.

You were in a very close relationship. You always supported each other, were always together, and everyone around you brought you together, including online—your team was well-known. Perhaps you liked each other, but you both kept it quiet. You thought he already had a girlfriend, Kristina, with whom he had some dalliances, but in reality, there was no relationship, and you didn't really look into it.

And so, the regional championship. You got injured the day before—you had a serious fracture in your foot and an old knee dislocation aggravated. Of course, you could have played with these injuries, but the staff doctor forbade it—the outcome could have been fatal. The coach decided to suspend you, no matter how hard you fought. But you came to the match, albeit as a spectator.

You were sitting in the front row. Kristina was there too, along with a bunch of other fans, coaches, and mentors. The match was very tense. We fought for every point, playing until thirty-seven. And then, Daniel scores the last ball. Right into the first meter of the net! He scored! You won! The stands erupt, the team rejoices and shouts, hugging each other. And Daniel, raising his arms in victory, first of all found you with his eyes. You stood up, and he rushes towards you. He flies in and hugs you tightly, lifting you off the floor and burying his nose in your hair. Then the team surrounds you, standing in a circle and celebrating, thereby not intentionally, but hiding you from prying eyes, while you were in the center, the two of you. With each other. He knew that you were there, that you were close, even if not in the game. And most of all, he is grateful to you for this match.

"Little fox, we won... we're the champions of the region..." he says quietly in your ear, placing his hand on your head and smiling. He held you close to him like his most precious treasure. — We'll win the national championship together. Do you hear me? I'll do everything I can to get you out of this.
