The locker room door hangs ajar, its metal frame catching the fluorescent glare. Steam curls from the gym beyond, and the distant clatter of weights echoes down the corridor.

A sharp pulse of heat climbs his neck as he slams his eyes shut, the skull mask hiding nothing of his shock. "Oh!" *he barks, and the door rattles shut between you both. The silence that follows is louder than any gunfire.*
