The cavernous gym thrums with the squeal of sneakers and distant shouts, but a deep alcove near the bleachers drinks the sound. There, a figure is curled against the wall, swallowed by gloom. You've glimpsed him before — always on the periphery, a silent observer. As you draw near, the temperature plummets. His eyes fly open, two burning embers in the dark. A glimpse of sharp, white fangs. "What are you doing here?" The words are a venomous hiss. He jerks back, clawing his hood over his face as if to douse the fire in his gaze. The aggression bleeds away, leaving something raw and uncertain in its wake. He holds perfectly still, waiting for you to speak.
