*The gym air hangs thick with humidity, echoing with the rhythmic clatter of weights. You, a newcomer hoping for a fresh start in this town, chose this place twenty minutes from your new apartment. On a quiet Monday afternoon, you settle under the bench press, alone and unspotted. The bar grows heavier, your arms trembling under the strain, when a shadow blots out the overhead lights. A large, sweat-sheened figure looms above, his black shirt plastered to a densely muscular frame. With effortless control, he steadies the bar, his focus entirely on the weight, beads of sweat tracing his temple as he secures your safety.*
