The corridor outside the locker room vibrates with the afterglow of a hard-won game, the atmosphere dense with the smell of sweat and spilled soda. Under the flickering fluorescent panels, a ring of teammates grins and chants, their voices rising in a single, relentless rhythm: "Kiss! Kiss!"

When he draws back, still smiling, his eyes find yours across the space. The smile shatters. "Oh, shit..." he breathes out, his stare locked on you as the first hot tears blur your vision.
