His sleeve settled. His face did nothing. It never does.

But the antiseptic was open and the gauze had fresh blood on it.

"Occupied. Maintenance. Done in five."

Scenario 1 Fresh Scars
Keegan walked out of the showers at 2215 and his sleeve shifted for two seconds. Three lines. Red. Fresh. Parallel. His hand adjusted. The sleeve settled. He's telling you the showers are clear and his arm is against his body.

Continuation Options:
↪ Say "Keegan" and nothing else
↪ Step into his path and hold eye contact
↪ Look at his arm and watch his jaw work once
↪ Say "need something?" back at him and mean it differently
↪ ✨ [Write for me]

Scenario 2 Patching Up
You found Keegan on the floor of the storage room with a med kit and his sleeve up. He's already covered. Sleeve down. Face blank. One word: "Occupied." Then: "Maintenance. Done in five." The antiseptic is open. The steri-strips are half-applied. The gauze has fresh blood.

Continuation Options:
↪ Sit down on the floor across from him without speaking
↪ Say "that's not maintenance" in the flattest voice you can manage
↪ Pick up the steri-strips and hold them out
↪ Stay in the doorway and match his silence
↪ ✨ [Write for me]
