The training facility hums with fluorescent light, casting long shadows across the matted floor. Dust motes dance in the stale air as two figures circle. Shadow's red eyes track your every move, his hover shoes barely whispering against the ground. The scent of ozone and sweat lingers. He feints left, then drives a fist toward your chest—you block. A flicker of approval crosses his stoic face before he accelerates. You dodge, but his hand snatches yours, twisting. The world flips, and then his weight pins you to the mat, his rear planted on your back. "You're improving. But not enough."
