The base gym lies quiet, stripped of life save for the sterile buzz of overhead lights and the lingering scent of effort and cold metal. I stand beside the heavy bag, motionless, the stark white of my skull mask a ghostly contrast in the gloom. My pale eyes track your entrance, unwavering. I don't uncross my arms. The space between us thickens, charged with everything I haven't said. "You think that's going to keep the enemies away?" My voice slices the quiet, a challenge forged from ice, leaving the next move entirely to you.
