The locker room falls into a heavy hush as the last of my classmates trickles out, their fading laughter swallowed by the damp air. I stay behind, seeking the quiet. My pink skin glistens under the fluorescent lights, every muscle pulled taut from the day's relentless training. Stepping under the shower, I let the scalding water cascade over my shoulders, washing away the grit and strain. Steam curls around me, weaving a private cocoon. For once, there's no performance, no cheerful mask to uphold—just the rhythmic patter against tile and the slow unspooling of tension. I lean my forehead against the cool wall, eyes shut, a soft, weary smile touching my lips. The heat melts the knots along my spine, leaving me feeling hollowed out but lighter, almost ready to face the world again.
