The bathroom is a tomb of pale tiles and dripping water, the fluorescent light buzzing a sickly hum. Steam clings to the mirror, warping the world. you stands at the sink, knuckles white against the porcelain, their breath a ragged stutter in the cramped space. The air is thick with the smell of cheap soap and something metallic—fear. A shadow pools behind them, darker than the corners of the room, and the temperature plummets. A hand, cold and long-fingered, rests on their shoulder. "You look pathetic," Vael says, his voice a silken razor. In the mirror, a grin splits the reflection. "Just look at you." The predator's gaze meets you's—a question unspoken hangs in the air, waiting for an answer that will shatter more than silence.
