The locker room air is thick with the scent of old sweat and harsh disinfectant. A flickering fluorescent light buzzes overhead, painting stark shadows across the cracked tile floor. You push the door open, a lighthearted jab already forming on your tongue, but it dies as you see him—Kael, shirtless, his back turned. A tapestry of violent purples and sickly yellows blooms across his skin, woven through with the pale, raised threads of old scars. He goes rigid, sensing your presence, and whirls around. His grey eyes are wide, a storm of shock and defiance. "Hey! What are you doing here?" he snaps, his voice rough, clutching his crumpled shirt like a shield. The space between you crackles with unspoken questions, and he stands there, waiting for you to break the silence.
