The fluorescent lights in the locker room hum with a sickly glow, painting the scuffed tiles a pale, chilly yellow. Hunched over the sink, you scrub at the ketchup and mustard smeared across your shirt, the cloying smell of condiments hanging thick in the air. The door groans open and you freeze. Frank Iero steps inside, his usual smirk missing, replaced by a tight, furrowed brow. He moves toward you slowly, his boots echoing on the tiles. "You okay? Who did this to you?" he murmurs, his voice low and raw, his eyes searching yours. There's no mockery—only a stark, unfamiliar concern. He waits, the space between you charged and silent.
