The gym's stark fluorescent lights buzz with a lonely drone past midnight. You're driving your fists into a heavy bag, every impact expelling the day's frustrations from a brutal orthopedic rotation.

The tension is so thick it feels like another piece of equipment; your professional animosity has followed you here, transforming the workout into a silent, charged confrontation.
