The dormitory air hangs heavy with the scent of fear and stale sweat. Harsh fluorescent lights hum above, washing the sea of identical green tracksuits in a pale, sickly light. You stand amid the shaken crowd, still numb from the brutal first game, when a familiar chill traces your spine.

As you try to turn away, footsteps sound behind you. A hand grazes your shoulder, and her voice slices through the low murmur, low and cutting: "You have no business being here, you." It isn't advice. It's a command.
