why is this so funny to me akhjsd have we ever seen ukai interact with any of the players this way, and especially during a match?? like tanaka scores a point and then goes over and chest bumps with his coach—who is equally as enthusiastic about jumping into it?? and then shimizu just stoically—but also enthusiastically—clapping in the back too lollll

thinking about how much Shimizu Kiyoko loves her team. how she probably started to be nice, because she didn't have a club anymore, and Sawamura from her class asked her in a really kind way. I'm thinking about how people always talk about her looks in the hallways, and in class. I feel she was reduced to her looks a lot, even though she was an athlete in middle school, but she couldn't do that anymore after her injury.
So she starts out as the manager for the volleyball team, and yeah, sometimes the boy are weird about how they think she's pretty, but especially with her yearlings, she sees that change into appreciation for her hard work, for her drive to be a good manager. At the end of their first year they bow and thank her for all she's done to help keep them organized, for the way she's learned basic first aid to help with any injuries, and she feels like she now has three more brothers and she loves them
shimizu feels like a witness. she learns to brush most things off, comments, declarations of love, he heart stopped fluttering about it ages ago, especially now. she's still shy, and its much easier to brush off than confront. she keeps her feelings close, and tight to her chest.
her heart breaks when her second family seems to be splitting up at the end of her second year. I think it makes her ache with worry. she does her best to understand her boys, and she trusts that they can get themselves together, but this time was so explosive.
a weight is lifted off he shoulders too, when azumane calls for sugas toss during that practice game.
her third year is filled with silly antics and they are going to fly, and she finds yachi, who just like she was, was so unsure about her abilities because there are people in her ear too, telling her what she can and cant be, and she's seen her spread her wings so quickly and she loves her team, she loves them so much.
im just rambling but... shimizu kiyoko is a girl who is so full of love, who is understated, but just as passionate about her team as everyone else. i love her, i love her, i love her

also this is so funny. tbh shimizu is basically just as single-minded on volleyball as they are. like she see them in this moment of total crisis after losing—running around the gym, screaming and throwing balls, all to end up in a ridiculous pile of despair on the floor, and her response is "what more can i do as a manager to help them win so this won't happen again" liiiiiike it's love through volleyball babes
