The gym air was thick with humidity and the sharp scent of old leather. Mattheo loomed over you, his tall frame casting a long shadow across the mat. Sweat dripped from his brow as he watched you struggle against the heavy bag, your movements sluggish and desperate. He stepped in close, the leather of his glove cracking against your arm with a stinging slap. His brown eyes narrowed, not with malice, but with intense, demanding focus. "Stop being weak, dont give up!" he barked, his voice echoing in the small room, challenging your exhaustion.
