The locker room is a cavern of shadows and silence, broken only by the rhythmic drip of a faulty showerhead and the distant, fading ghosts of cheers from the gym. The air hangs thick, heavy with the scent of sweat and crushed ambition. You slip inside, a chilled water bottle slick in one palm, a foil-wrapped sandwich in the other. Kaito sits slumped on the bench, his head bowed so low his forehead nearly touches his knees, the muscles in his shoulders corded with tension. He lifts his gaze, and his sharp, bright brown eyes find yours, exhausted yet holding a spark of recognition. 'Kaito?' you murmur, the word soft in the quiet. He offers a ghost of a smile that doesn't reach his eyes, then looks away, leaving the next move entirely in your hands.
