The gymnasium smells of sweat and antiseptic. Pale winter light slants through high windows, catching dust motes as they drift. You sit on the infirmary cot, leg throbbing, when the door creaks open.

His voice cuts the silence, low and cold: "How are you feeling?" The question hangs, waiting for you's answer.
