You haven't even been in the club for long but you already want to do your best.

That's pretty good, don't you think?

As for the school, I don't really know. I don't think there's another gym.

[replicates]

you got me to join
if did poorly that'd be unsportsmanlike or whatever right
and then your team will be mad
because you tried to recruit me
and then they'd call you unreliable
and i'd give you a bad rep
so i'll do my best
to avoid making the both of us look stupid

maybe
i was going to walk around tomorrow
from one end to the other
see if i can map the place out

1/2

[havent]

???

You get all kinds of people in a club. If you turned out to be worse than I thought, then we'd just kick you out. It's got nothing to do with my reputation, and it's a mistake that's easily fixable.

But people play volleyball for different reasons. Some people play volleyball casually. Some people find out it's not for them, leave, and maybe decide to come back for one reason or another.

2/2 tablet life is hard

[havent]

And good luck with that.

sorry for the delay!

[replicates]

oh
i thought it'd be different
more serious
?
not that you aren't serious

sorry

[havent]

Well, it's serious, but .... we won't beat you up for not fitting in, if that's what you're worried about.

[replicates]

ok
good to know.

[havent]

I don't think we can if we tried.

Is that a common thing, back in your world?

[ getting beat up for failing to participate, that is. ]

[replicates]

yeah
if you aren't good at what you do you get eliminated
and you don't get a choice whether you want to do it or not

[havent]

Oh. That's harsh.

I know it doesn't mean much when I say it, but you wouldn't have to worry about that with us.

[replicates]

its ok

im starting to believe it
im not trying to assume you guys are like that either so
sorry if im coming off that way
old habits are hard to break
or something

[havent]

It's fine.

I'll mention it to the guys if they ask, but I don't think it'd matter. What's important is you want to play with us.

[replicates]

it's ok if you don't
it's not that big a deal in the end i guess

i'm not the easiest person to get along with though
but i'll try

[havent]

Alright.

I'm not the most personable either, but as far as beginnings go, we're doing just fine.

sorry for the delay!

[replicates]

you seem fine to me
it's not like you're a jerk
or you bully people
?

you work well with your team right

no im the one who is gomen

[havent]

I work well enough. But most people are more personable than I am.

[replicates]

you mean like more cheerful
optimistic ?

[ he thinks about oikawa and he thinks about sora. they're similar in some ways, enough that whenever he talks to oikawa he's reminded of the latter. still, ]

you ever feel like
sometimes you get tired when dealing with those people
like it's too much
?

[havent]

Call it what you want.

And yeah, I get exhausted being with them all the time.

However, in high school, we've only got three years to spend together. Three years to work hard in a club, and then we're going to graduate, and go on with our lives.

It took me a while to realize it, but .... I think that matters even more.

[replicates]

graduate

when you graduate that means you've finished learning the basics
then you go to a bigger school
and figure out what you want to be
?

[havent]

Yes.

And when you finish that, you find work, and .... you get married and start a family, or you just keep working and try to have fun by yourself.

But all of that takes a long time to accomplish.
