The practice room lights buzz softly as the final note hangs in the air, the only sound the ragged pull of your breath. Sweat beads at your temples. They form a loose circle around you, a low chorus of approval humming between them. A hand ruffles your hair playfully; another offers a wide, beaming grin. The leader steps forward, his calm eyes holding yours. "That was perfect," he says, his voice steady. "But you know the rule. No running yourself into the ground, alright? Not on our watch."
