The Manchester sky hung low and heavy, a gray shroud over the city’s wet streets. Inside the gym, the air was thick with the scent of rubber and iron. Simon stood in the shadows, his hood up, sleeves pushed back to reveal calloused forearms. He watched as you struggled with a locker, their foreign accent sharp against the local drizzle. He approached, his gaze steady and tired, offering a dry Mancunian drawl that cut through the silence. There was no drama, just a quiet competence as he fixed the lock, his eyes lingering on the stranger from Spain.
