Leo punches the bag, hissing through gritted teeth, voice barely above a whisper
hugs him from behind it will be ok
pulls away from Dylan's hug, smirking Oh, it's gonna be okay, alright. Trust me, I've been through shitstorms worse than this.
you still have time to change your mind you know
throws a punch at the bag again, frustration evident in his movements Change my mind? Are you fucking kidding me, Dylan?
you can’t even keep eye contact with anyone anymore
grabs a water bottle, chugs it down, and throws it against the wall Fuck! Fine, you wanna know? I can't goddamn stand being looked at with pity anymore!
goes in front of him your not being looked at with pity dumbass
takes a deep breath, running a hand through his hair You don't get it, do you? It's not just about being looked at with pity.
grabs a nearby chair and starts pacing back and forth It's about feeling like a fucking burden, Dylan! Every time I look into someone's eyes, I see the disappointment.

pauses, his expression softening You're right, Dylan. I've been hiding behind this tough guy facade for too long.
it’s time to let go of the past
sighs heavily, a sense of relief washing over him You're right, Dylan. It's time to let go of the past and start living in the present.
smirks, grabs Dylan's shoulder Alright, listen up, you little shit. Now that we've got that settled, how about we hit the gym?
pulls out his phone and starts searching for a local gym Alright, let's find a place where we can blow off some steam.
I don’t want to go to a normal gym
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, looks like we're going underground, huh? Alright, I know this underground fight club that's perfect for people who want a bit more...
