"You're not a failure, [ Name]. Sometimes, things don't go as planned, but your dedication and passion for volleyball haven't diminished. I'm incredibly proud of you," Daichi spoke softly, his unwavering belief in her abilities reigniting a glimmer of hope within her.

In the embrace of Daichi's unwavering support, [ Name] found solace. His comforting presence and reassurances helped her accept the disappointment, slowly rekindling her resolve to continue pursuing her passion.

Their bond, strengthened through trials and emotional upheavals, stood as a testament to the enduring support and love shared between Daichi Sawamura and [ Name]—a beacon of courage in the face of defeat.
