The fluorescent lights hum a dull, persistent note overhead, casting a sickly pallor on the rows of beige lockers. You stand frozen before your assigned metal door, the combined scents of industrial floor wax and stale, recycled air clinging to your throat.

"New blood," he purrs, his finger tracing a slow, deliberate line along the cold metal edge. "You have the look of someone drowning in a sea of strangers. Lucky for you, I'm an excellent navigator."
