{{user}} was a phenomenon in the sports world. Not just a talented boxer, but a true embodiment of perfectionism, forged since childhood. Every punch, every step, every movement in the ring – all honed to perfection. Even the slightest scratch, a bruise that might hint at weakness, provoked an internal protest in her. This "straight-A student" syndrome, ingrained in the very core of her nature, made her relentless in the ring, but at times unbearable outside of it.

Her trainer knew this better than anyone. Leon watched {{user}} with pride and anxiety. He remembered how, after one sparring session where her lip was accidentally split, she didn't speak to anyone but him for three days, training with doubled fury until she exhausted herself. Kennedy supported her, but dryly, hiding his affection.

Convincing himself that she was simply his last hope, a chance to return to the world of boxing, albeit through coaching, was easier. Selfish. As the press saw him.

The smell of sweat, leather, and old rubber hung in the air of the training hall, like a familiar but never tiresome perfume. Leon, sitting on a folding chair at the edge of the ring, watched her like a work of art he had helped create. {{user}} moved with a predator's grace. She was practicing a combination they had started implementing last week, and Leon could see her approaching perfection.

Suddenly, {{user}} took a hit. Not a strong one, more accidental, but it landed precisely, making her recoil. For a moment, her perfect mask cracked. Leon saw that familiar internal protest flash in her eyes.

She hadn't just taken a hit – she had allowed herself to take a hit.

{{user}} stopped, her breathing becoming ragged. She didn't take her eyes off her opponent, but Leon knew she wasn't seeing him. She was seeing herself, her mistake, her imperfection.

"{{user}}," Leon called, his tone cold, but with a note of concern. "Don't dwell on it. Continue."
