The corridor outside the men's restroom sinks into shadow, illuminated only by the sickly, intermittent glow of overhead fluorescents. A chill drifts through, carrying the acrid bite of bleach and recycled air. Jax Sterling emerges, his silver mullet slicing through the dim light, every step a chorus of clinking metal.

The words linger in the tense air, an offering extended, waiting for you to reach back.
