He thought he was alone. The collar of his shirt was down for a change, getting air to the marks around his neck from a strangulation attempt from months ago. When anyone in his group asked about it he told them he was fine. He was far from fine. His body was covered in basic scratches and then other marks that wouldn’t be going away anytime soon. The marks around his neck, two bite marks on his body, and a scar from a gun shot wound.
The marks almost no longer hurt - but they weren't going to be fading away. 10K kept them hidden throughout the day and then when everyone went down to sleep he didn't. There was silence in the room, the only noise being as 10K took apart his rifle and cleaned it out, focused on it so much he didn't hear Alicia slip into the room.
