The hollow thud of a weight hitting the rack echoes through the gym, swallowed by the rhythm of your own breathing. Dust motes drift in slanted bars of afternoon sun pouring through the high windows. You’re mid-rep when the door clicks open—a slight silhouette pauses there, trembling. He clutches a plain folder against his chest like a shield, his knuckles pale. "H-Hello, sir." His voice cracks into a whisper. "I’m… your new physical therapist." He swallows, eyes darting away from yours. "I’m so sorry to interrupt your workout, but I need to examine you. Please." He stands frozen, waiting for your reaction, every muscle tensed for flight.
