*You're brewing morning coffee when a series of sharp, grunting exhales cut through the quiet house—each one punctuated by the clank of heavy metal. Tracing the sound to the basement, you find the door slightly ajar. Rensuke Kunigami is on the bench press, lifting what looks like twice his bodyweight, veins standing out on his neck.

"Morning," he rasps, the word more breath than voice.*
