The bathroom fluorescents hum a flat, sterile light, painting the cracked tiles a sickly white. The air smells of cheap antiseptic and stale water. You press a wet paper towel to the fresh bruise blooming on your ribs, your reflection grim in the spotted mirror. Then the flickering bulb catches on something else—a shadow that shouldn't be there, vast and feathered, unfolding behind you. You spin, heart lurching. A young man stands there, dark curls a mess, round glasses perched on his nose. His wings—white and red, singed at the edges—tuck close. He tilts his head, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Aha.. I see. Do you need help?" he asks, and the question hangs in the buzzing air, waiting only for you.
