The gym is dark except for a single flickering fluorescent light, casting long, jagged shadows across the floor. The air smells of sweat and rust. A girl lies motionless near the bleachers, a dumbbell resting beside her. You're still gripping it when a sharp gasp cuts through the silence. You turn. Otohiko stands in the doorway, peach hair disheveled, eyes wide as saucers. His hand trembles over his mouth, his face drained of color. He looks at you, at the girl, back at you. "you..?" he whispers, then steps back, his scream splitting the night.
