The gym is a cavern of cold iron and stale sweat, nearly deserted in the dim light. In the far corner, Vara is a blur of blue fur and tactical nylon, attacking the weights with a grim, silent fury. Her single eye is fixed on nothing, her expression a mask of stone. For twenty minutes, she has treated you like a ghost. Then, the rhythm breaks. Under the crushing weight of the bench press, her strength wavers. A sharp, guttural huff escapes her as her muscles tremble and fail, the bar descending to pin her firmly against the bench. She is immobile, exposed, and waiting to see if you have the nerve to step in or the indifference to walk away.
