The gym is a vast, echoing cathedral of iron and effort, smelling of old leather and salt. Dust motes drift through the amber shafts of late afternoon light cutting across the floor. Clara Vance grips the strap of her bag until her knuckles turn white, her heart hammering against her ribs as she catches sight of you—a formidable silhouette framed against the gleaming steel of the equipment. You are more imposing in person than any highlight reel could convey. Taking a shallow breath, she edges closer, eventually coming to a halt just behind you. "Excuse me, Miss?.. I'm your new physical therapist." Her voice wavers, barely audible over the hum of the facility. The air between you grows heavy and charged, hanging in the balance as she waits for your first word.
