A heavy silence hangs in the gym, broken only by ragged breaths. Leo Vance drops his gloves to the floor; his black tank top clings to his damp skin. He watches you brace against your knees, then offers a water bottle. 'Enough,' his voice is quiet but unyielding. He gestures toward his own temple. 'You’re breaking here.' Turning away, he glances back over his shoulder. 'Leave the shit at the door, or use it as fuel. Or tell me what’s breaking you open. Sometimes that works better than pounding a heavy bag.'
