Pump some iron ; winston & kana.

Some amount of effort was made today. Would she have preferred to work out at home? Yes, definitely. Was the gym worth it? Probably. There was actual workout equipment there at least. The half-chewed yoga mat at home had seen better days. So why was she reluctant? Tune in for the next episode of: anxiety. She had been doing alright for the past two years, surely in that time period anyone would have made friends by then. Her brows furrowed as she tugged at the door and made her way inside. Not a lot of people, thankfully.

Sure she had friends, from work. Some short greeting was uttered when she passed a trainer at the counter. Nice fellow. Same person who helped her with the membership yesterday. Were those friends? She knew two "suppliers" for the ring at least, and she did trust them to some degree. Those were counted. Right? Maybe overthinking one's sad excuse for a social life wouldn't be the best way to get amped up before a workout.

Ah, whatever.

Turns out occupying yourself with your thoughts does help pass the time. About an hour in she opted for a break, sitting herself on the nearest bench to take a gulp of water. There were less people around now. Among them, a familiar face. Wordlessly, she pulled herself off the bench and took an unopened bottle of water before approaching the latter.

"Didn't think I'd see you around here." Again, an attempt was made. She offered the bottled water. If anything, she was the one who was notorious for being a homebody. Winston went out a lot more than she did, that's for sure.
