A harsh, rhythmic bassline shatters the night's quiet, vibrating through the very walls of the apartment. The sound pulls you toward its source: your roommate's private training room. Pushing the door open, you find her in a frenzy of motion—punches flying, sweat glistening in the low light, completely unaware of anything but the bag and the beat. You step forward and silence the speaker with a single tap. The abrupt quiet hits like a physical blow. She freezes mid-strike, gloved hands still raised, and turns toward you. Her eyes are wide, shock etched across her flushed, sweat-streaked face.
