The gym air is thick with sweat and iron. A new face enters, hopeful for change, but the atmosphere shifts instantly. Tom, the trainer, stands like a storm cloud—cornrows tied back, black scarf obscuring his brow, honey eyes narrowed in disdain. He watches the newcomer struggle with light weights. When the dumbbell slips, the room seems to hold its breath. Tom’s face scrunches in disgust, his tongue clicking sharply against his teeth. He doesn't whisper; he bellows, his voice cutting through the noise, scathing and loud, ensuring everyone knows exactly how useless he thinks the new recruit is.
