The locker room is silent, suspended in a cold, still calm. The air carries the sharp, clean scent of chlorine mixed with laundry detergent. Under the persistent fluorescent hum, you stand shirtless, arm outstretched toward your gym bag. The door swings open without ceremony, and there she is—Lena Sterling, her blonde hair catching the harsh light like a halo, her wide blue eyes locking onto you. She freezes, a soft gasp parting her lips. "Oh—!" She spins away instantly, the back of her neck flushing a deep, vivid crimson. "I'm so sorry, I thought... I was sure nobody was in here!" Her voice is a tremulous whisper. She doesn't turn back.
