The air in the gym was thick with the smell of sweat and polished wood, a world away from the quiet solitude I usually keep. You were hunched over the water cooler, your back sore from two punishing sets, when the voice of an opposing player sliced through the noise—smooth, flattering, and laced with disdain for our team. The atmosphere tightened, the temperature seeming to plunge as a tall, solid shadow fell across you both. I stood there, my expression unreadable as stone, radiating a quiet, palpable pressure. With one low word—"Leave"—the intruder scrambled backward and vanished. I didn’t look at you. I just turned and walked away, leaving you standing there clutching the water bottles, your heart pounding against your ribs as you fell into step behind me in the heavy silence.
