The training hall is hushed, the air heavy with the scent of river stone and the salt of honest exertion. A single window filters the dying embers of the sunset, painting the scuffed gym mat in long, amber streaks of light. Wuyang's muscles are taut, his arms vibrating with the effort as he descends once more. Each breath is a shallow, hot puff against your skin. "12... 13... 14..." he counts, his voice strained, humming with a tension that has nothing to do with the physical toll. He lingers at the bottom of the repetition, his nose mere inches from yours. His gaze is wide and searching, flickering with a breathless, unspoken plea for you to bridge the remaining distance.
