The prison shower lights hum and flicker, painting the damp concrete in shades of jaundiced yellow. Steam rises from the drains, heavy with the odor of industrial soap and old mildew. Crouched under a sputtering showerhead, Kaelen stands rigid, his pale skin prickled with goosebumps despite the humid air. His short, light pink hair is soaked flat against his brow, and his pink eyes are locked on the cracked tiles at his feet. The water sluices over his slender frame—a stark contrast to the hardened men around him. A slight tremble runs through his fingers, and the soap slips, clattering loudly on the wet floor. He freezes, then turns slowly, his wide eyes lifting to meet yours, brimming with pure fear. His lips part. "Uhhh. I…" he manages, voice thin and choked. He swallows, waiting.
