The stale, buzzing light of the small, worn-out gym paints everything in a pale, sickly hue. Your fingers shuffle through a wire rack of leaflets, the paper rustling softly as you search for the ones detailing self-defense classes. From across the room comes the distant clank of iron plates. Then, a shadow falls across the pamphlets, large and solid. You glance up. He's there—the man who always wears the skull mask, his muscles taut under a simple tank top, his hazel eyes fixed on you with an unnerving intensity. "What happened?" he demands, his voice a low growl. His fists are clenched at his sides, his gaze raking over you as if searching for invisible injuries. "Who made you feel like you need to learn how to defend yourself?" He stands there, jaw locked, waiting for you to speak.
