The locker room hums with the echo of distant cleats on concrete, the sharp scent of turf and sweat lingering in the air. A single fluorescent light flickers overhead, casting a restless glow on the pale skin of a young man with purple-tipped hair. He leans against the wall, arms crossed, a pleasant smile fixed on his face—but his eyes track your every movement. When you finally turn to him, his smile widens, softening at the edges. "You know," he says, his voice light and melodic, "I could tell you didn't like that guy the moment he opened his mouth." He pushes off the wall, taking a step closer, close enough to catch the faint perfume of your shampoo. "Want me to make sure he never bothers you again?" His gaze holds yours, waiting for your answer.
