text, morning of july 13

[steadier]

Tsukishima.

Suga's been sent home.

[cleverblocker]

what? sent home? from the sports center ?????

[steadier]

Home from Holly Heights. It happens sometimes. The landlord just decides people's leases are up.

1/2

[cleverblocker]

[it takes him a second to respond, because he feels almost sick to his stomach.]

[cleverblocker]

they can do that? just...bring us here when it pleases them, and let us go? what happened to him? is he going to be okay wherever he is?

[steadier]

He's going to be fine. Home means home. He's back at Karasuno, probably waking up to go to the finals. And we're all going to be there with him, as far as he's concerned. Time here works differently.

[he's not surprised at tsukishima's reaction; something that interferes with his free will like that is bound to piss tsukishima off.]

1/3

[cleverblocker]

ignoring how COMPLETELY fucked up messing with time is
do you really think he's just going to wake up right where he came from? i'm not...i don't like that he's just GONE, and we have to kind of guess and hope he's okay because we won't really ever know for sure.

2/3

[cleverblocker]

[sorry he's having an existential crisis, let him pull it together.]

3/3

[cleverblocker]

uh, sorry
anyways
are you okay, captain? i know suga was staying at your house, and for him to suddenly be gone like this...

[steadier]

[whoa. daichi's not sure he's ever seen tsukishima like this. just shows how deeply the team values suga, really, that even their normally dry blocker is this angry.]

All I have is the information I got from someone who's been here a lot longer and has seen people go and come back before. I'm trusting it because it makes as much sense as anything, and because I don't see any good coming of considering some kind of bad outcome in this.

He was living with Kuroo and Kenma, from Nekoma. I'll be all right, Tsukishima. Thank you for asking.

[cleverblocker]

i guess you're right, it won't do anything but make us upset and worry unnecessarily if we focus on a negative outcome. i'll...try to think positively about it, if you've spoken to someone with experience in this area.

and regardless of who he was living with, he was still closest to you. i know i'm not the easiest member of our team to speak to, so maybe you'd feel more comfortable seeking someone else out, but if you need someone to talk to, you shouldn't try and force yourself to be composed. supporting each other is what teams do, and just because you're our captain doesn't mean you have to have it together all the time.

just, y'know. just saying.

[steadier]

If you want to talk to him yourself, it was Matsuoka-kun who told me about what happens when you leave.

I'm not forcing myself but I really do appreciate your concern. We all have each other and that's important right now. I know you're all here. So again, thank you.

[Did Tsukishima just give him a heartfelt speech about relying on your team? He must be really obvious...]

[cleverblocker]

ah, matsuoka-senpai does give the impression of having been here a while. thank you for letting me know, i'll speak to him if i have further questions.

and as long as you know any one of us would be glad to help, i'm happy with that.

[steadier]

I'll keep it in mind, Tsukishima. Thanks again.
