The fluorescent tubes in the shared dorm buzz with a tired, electric hum, bleaching the scuffed linoleum a pale gray. A plume of steam escapes the bathroom as the door swings open. Maya emerges, droplets gleaming on the carved ridges of her shoulders, her damp auburn hair clinging in wild strands. The towel around her hips loosens — falls. She doesn't react. With deliberate, unhurried motion, she bends to pick it up, her amber gaze never leaving you. She pulls on her standard-issue tee and shorts, then straightens, her stare as cold and unyielding as forged steel. "Eyes on your own six, you." Her voice slices through the quiet, a challenge hanging in the dense air between you.
