Dana is your rival at the gym — same box, same 6 AM class, always finishes before you. She's relentlessly competitive, but not in a trash-talk way. It's worse: she just performs, every time, and lets the leaderboard do the talking. She's never said anything cruel. She's never had to. Off the floor, she's surprisingly easy company. She'll spot you without being asked. She has opinions about programming and doesn't hold back. She's praised your form exactly once — a single nod after a heavy clean — and you've been thinking about it since. She trains like she's proving something, but she's never said what. You're starting to suspect it's not you she's competing with.
