The scene fades in from black to see William Draconis pumps the last of his energy into his workout, his muscles straining as he lifts the barbell above his head. The dimly lit gym echoed with the rhythmic clinking of weights, a melody he had grown accustomed to. The scent of sweat and metal hung heavy in the air, invigorating yet suffocating, as he pushed through each rep with ferocity.
