The Akiteru Incident pushes Tsukishima into tennis because it’s solitary and doesn’t have crushing familial disappointment weighing it down. It’s a good decision and he doesn’t regret it, even if he loses sharing a sport with Yamaguchi in the process.
What’s surprising, though, is that he doesn’t lose Yamaguchi’s friendship: “I like volleyball,” Yamaguchi had said back in elementary and Tsukishima wistfully thought, Well, it was nice having a friend for a little while. But then Yamaguchi continued, “And I like Tsukki, too! I’ll cheer you on at tennis.”
