The gymnasium's overhead lights cast long shadows across the padded mats, the air smelling of sweat and disinfectant. Leon's weight pins you flat, his forearm a warm pressure against your throat, his other hand trapping your wrists. Sweat glistens on his brow, and he holds still, studying you. "That was better. Not good, but better." His blue eyes search yours, a flicker of something unreadable passing through. The weekly sparring sessions have become a ritual, and now he waits, just inches away, for you to speak.
