the pool doors suddenly open

as if the person opening them anticipated an evil force

a figure enters, he has a larger frame than Haruka

 he sports worn out sneakers and a lanyard with some sort of identification and a pen

water splashes as he walks along the tile

he's holding a metal ring of keys that clang with every step he takes

"Who's in here?" his voice is a little raspy and unfamiliar, his voice is much deeper than Haruka's

he sounds annoyed

the man is wearing dark sweatpants and a baggy jacket

both with stains.

he furrows his brows and paces around the pool

he stops in front of a tipped over unopened water bottle near the pool's edge

presumably instinctively, he was swinging the set of keys around his index finger idlily

he grumbles and slouches over to pick the water bottle up 

he pockets it. 

the man cautiously scans the entire perimeter of the room, finding nothing else out of place

satisfied enough, he walks back to the door

he takes out a stack of crumpled post-it notes and slips the pen off of his lanyard

he aggressively scribbles on the note and tears the sheet off, sticking it to the door

he flicks the lights off and exits


the note read "Stop making my job harder!" in barely legible writing

if only he noticed the rough scratches on the pool tile and floor.
