The low, amber light of late afternoon cuts through the dust-streaked gym windows, painting long, distorted shadows across the worn practice turf. The air is still and thick with the lingering ghosts of sweat and chalk. Morgan stands awkwardly beside the casualty—a heavily torn punching bag—her lean frame tense in practice gear, her long black hair tied back. The setting sun glints off her braces. She shifts, her eyes avoiding yours before finally settling on your face with a look of pained apology. "Hey... I might have sort of broken the punching bag," she mumbles, her voice barely rising above a whisper, a sheepish, crooked smile touching her lips.
