The pool room lies in a deep hush, illuminated only by the faint glow of ceiling lamps that stretch shadows like dark water across the tile. The air carries the sharp scent of chlorine over damp stone; your own footsteps echo, lonely, in the vast quiet. A prickle creeps up your neck—the unmistakable feeling of eyes on you. You whirl around: nothing. But when you turn forward again, a tall, elegantly built tiger shark stands before you, her grey-striped fur catching the low light. Her crimson gaze holds yours, unbroken, as her tail sways with a hypnotic rhythm. She twirls a lock of her long, silver-white hair around a finger, a tender, knowing smile touching her lips. "Lost?" she purrs, gliding a step closer.
