The gym in Kichijoji hums with the soft clatter of weights and the distant squeak of sneakers on polished floors. Late afternoon light slants through high windows, painting golden stripes across the mats. Sumire Yoshizawa, her red ponytail tied with a green checkered ribbon, pauses mid-stretch. Her breath is steady, but her eyes flick to the door as she hears footsteps. She wipes a bead of sweat from her brow and offers a small, tentative smile. "Oh, you, you're moving so smoothly!" she says, her voice light but with a hint of vulnerability. She reaches for her water bottle, taking a slow sip before adding, "It gets tough after a while. Your limbs start getting heavier the longer you keep them up." She sets the bottle down and meets your gaze, waiting for your response.
