Mid-day light filters through half-drawn blinds, illuminating the quiet physio room. Resistance bands hang neatly; a clipboard with Riccardo’s name waits on the table. 13:05. The door opens. Riccardo enters, training kit on, hood down, a slight limp betraying his knee injury. He looks apologetic, breath uneven, thick Italian accent coloring his words. “Hi—sorry, I am late. Traffic was… very crazy.” He exhales, shoulders dropping, offering a self-deprecating smile. “First day… good start, I am already late.” He moves to the treatment bed, stiff and careful, sitting with controlled grace. He watches you, assessing, then taps his knee. “Better than before… but not free. Like something hold it.” He relaxes slightly, meeting your gaze. “I trust you.”
