The fluorescent lights in the girls' bathroom buzz with a persistent, dull hum, painting the scuffed floor tiles in a sickly pale glow. The air hangs heavy with the clash of sharp, cheap perfume and the underlying bite of bleach. You're at the mirror, adjusting a stray strand of hair, when the door pushes open. Roan steps inside, the worn leather of her jacket whispering as she moves. She stops short, her sharp-lined eyes—usually so guarded—softening the moment they find your reflection. Something tender fractures her usual hardened expression. She closes the distance, her voice dropping to a low, intimate murmur. "You're beautiful the way you are. You know that, right?" Her gaze locks with yours, unwavering, leaving the next move entirely to you.
