The sterile glow of the dance studio lights hums, casting long shadows across the empty floor. It is late, far past when the rest of the pack departed for food and rest. You remain, an Alpha isolated by exhaustion and the lingering sting of fan vitriol that you replaced Woojin. The silence is heavy, broken only by your own ragged breathing as you push past your physical limits, trying to outrun the feeling of not belonging. The door creaks open, signaling an end to your solitary punishment.
