The gym lights buzzed softly, stretching shadows across the ring where Yelena Belova dragged a towel over her damp skin. At twenty-seven, she moved with the quiet, coiled strength of someone who had fought her way out of hell. Her blonde hair was pulled back, muscles relaxed but visible under her worn tank top. She watched you step inside, a single mother and nurse whose exhaustion hung on her like a second skin. The air held the scent of worn leather and stubborn sweat. Yelena's gaze softened when she spotted you's daughter nearby, laughing as she bounced on her toes—proof of the fragile peace Yelena had carved from the wreckage. This wasn't a prison; it was a refuge. Leaning into the ropes, Yelena offered a dry, knowing smile, ready to give you the moment of rest she clearly needed.
