    hey dear author, thank you so much for this beautiful story. fics with brasil shoyo have a whole soft spot in my heart, and your beautiful story sure filled that spot so easily!! seriously, what a wonderful masterpiece, the way you describe his sentiments about brasil is sooo heartwarming and it hits close to home 🥺🥺 he build a home here and ofc brasil allowed him to find shelter even in difficult, dark times, and i don't see many fics talking about that!! sure, brasil arc has some angst layers but once shoyo starts loving here and also feeling embraced by the country and its people, it becomes a new home that he will surely miss once he's back 🤧 while reading this fic, i could feel his emotions through my skin, and just like kageyama, i can listen to the ocean waves and i will sure miss them in shoyo’s life 💙 their promise to play on the beach together soon is soooo sweet, kageyama was so attentive and supportive throughout this aaa shoyo must feel so so loved!! 😭😭😭

    it was difficult for shoyo to leave his homeland, and now it's difficult to go back to it as his new warm home is saying goodbye for now... i love when he tried to stuff all his things into a suitcase haha all those books, mangas, plants and bowls mean so much for shoyo, they're small fragments of his beautiful journey in his new home. Pedro was also super cute, i also giggled fondly at his pic with him with puffy eyes full of tears :')) i also teared up when sho leaves brasil, but his country will always be waiting for him with warm arms where he will find yet another way to be embraced and live here again 🧡🧡🧡🧡 the kagehina airport hug scene was a perfect way to finish this beautiful soft fic aaaa once again, it melted me!!!!

    thanks a lot for writing thisss, i really loved this story and it made me feel so soooo many things 🫂🧡🧡🧡🧡

      hey fellow author, thank you so much for your kind words! I've read quite a few of your works too, and I really admire your writing. So it means a lot to me. I've been so happy, I've read this comment multiple times throughout my day today hahaha (and will probably read many more times). Actually, a lot of it, rather the entire fic is inspired by my own experiences. So, I feel a little embarrassed but very happy that I got to portray them with Hinata as the voice. The brazil arc is one of my favourite, have a whole soft spot in my heart too. Like, it's a whole comfort read for me. I go back to it from time to time whenever I feel sad. Hinata's journey and then the MSBY, and their Olympics-Brazil/Italy ending gives me the little push to keep working hard hahaha. About the angst, of course there are difficult times living alone in a new country, but once one settles in, it is very... liberating? something like that. And, I believe Hinata had a similar experience to me too here. Oh, how I wish I could chat with Hinata like a real person (I would thank him a whole lot). Also, I've read a lot of fics where Hinata leaving for Brazil is equated to Hinata leaving behind Kageyama and Japan, and while it's for angst purposes, but does my heart break a little every time.... hahahaha. Like one doesn't leave behind anything, we just carry it forward with us.

      You won't believe, once I tried to put all my stuff into a suitcase and had a mental breakdown, because it was impossible to zip it close HAHAHAHA. I still figuring it out who I'll be giving all my plants to (they are my little babies 😭😂) or how to ask a restaurant for a recipe but oh well, I'll figure it out surely 😂😂 At least Hinata is back in the warm embrace of Kageyama and Japan. I love the airport hug scene too, the little feet off the ground hug, and it works nicely as a metaphor too.

      Thank you so much for reading and liking it!!!!!! Hope you have an amazing day!!!!!!!!! 🫂🤍🤍🤍🤍

        hi again, lovely author!! i can't believe someone with a beautiful writing like you gave a chance to my silly fics and felt admiration for them! this means the world to me omggg 🥹🥹🥹🥹your answer also made me so so warm and embraced, just like shoyo feels in brasil :3 happy to know mine made you joyful too hehe it's beautiful to see that u put your experiences into this fic while also pouring your heart in every single word 🧡🧡🧡 brasil arc also makes me feel this way and i reread it once in a while to feel more alive and happier!! it's truly so inspiring and motivating 🥹 youre so right about it being liberating too as freedom is what shoyo feels the most once he soars on the sand and the sun bestows him with its glow... it's so nice knowing that you went some a similar experience!! we need to chat to shoyo and hug him tight and and and---

        I also agree with you when u say about the angst being most about shoyo leaving kageyama/japan behind, and that's not truly like that!! he's carrying their memories, shoyo often thinks about kageyama when he is in brasil, and that helps him grow as he feel embraced by him and his homeland, even from distance!! and again, he found a home in brasil and i believe he doesnt leave it behind even during the time he is back in japan 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

        I can imagine how challenging it was to shove so much stuff into a suitcase haha we always buy more stuff when we go to other places, so i imagine shoyo went through the same thing (like you kasjdkasjdks how are we supposed to leave the PLANTS behind?!!!!! theyre like pets!!! your lil babies fr!!!! you will sort things out soon tho hehe the little feet off the ground hug WAS THE CHERRY ON TOP IT MADE ME MELT SO MUCH AAAAAAAAA and what a beautiful metaphor!!! i need to kiss your brain nowww 🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

        once again, thanks for writing and sharing and making me feel super embraced, both by your fic and your reply!! hope you have a lovely weekend, and that you keep blessing us with your amazing stories (if you have any socmeds, i'd love to interact more with u there :)) see youuuu 🧡🧡🧡💙💙💙

          omg hi again!!! You are praising me too much. Your writing is drop-dead gorgeous!!! They are not silly fics, I would say mine are more silly in comparison haha. Everyone has their own ways to process words, and yours is very unique. I could never write prose that beautiful, genuinely.

          Thank you so much! I truly agree with all the words you have said here. Oh definitely, he is not going to leave behind Brazil either. It is the place where he put all his dreams, trust, and beliefs. And built a life he is proud of. I find it to be a whole cirlce moment when Hinata comes back to play pro for Asas Sao Paulo. He definitely loves Brazil. No one would come back to a place they don't like, at least I wouldn't hahaha. He is quite literally living the best of both worlds. Japan and Brazil, indoor and beach, teammates and rivals to Kageyama.

          WAHHH I'm glad the hug melted you. Let me respectfully present my forehead to you. For a kiss hahahahaha 🫂🫂🫂🫂

          Thank you for your kind words!!!! I'm having a lovely weekend, hope you have an amazing sunday too!!!! I definitely plan to write more, and I definitely plan to read more from you too.

          HAHAHA I actually never had any socmeds linked to my ao3. Never thought anyone would want to talk to me more. So, I made one now (literally today hahaha). I don't know what you prefer, so I have now got a tumblr and discord. I generally don't post much, so my tumblr might remain empty in the future too, but I would always answer. I would love to chat with you more too!!! See you 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

          Tumblr: itsastra03

          I will add the discord in the next comment. I'll delete it once you add me there, or let me know if you don't want to. It's completely okay!!
