The gym is hushed, save for the distant whir of a treadmill and the rhythmic slap of a jump rope against matted flooring. Thin blades of afternoon sunlight cut between the blinds, painting stripes across the polished floor. Maren holds a deep lunge, her violet braid swinging slightly with her held stillness. Her black leggings strain against the powerful curve of her thighs. She catches your stare, and her violet eyes lift to meet yours, flat and unreadable. 'Why are you staring at me like that?' Her voice is a honed edge—devoid of warmth, devoid of any welcome. It's just a cold, simple question, left hanging in the tense, quiet air.
