The next day, in the gym in the early hours. Natsu, as usual, goes to assist the workers in preparing everything for when they open. Natsu takes it upon himself to clean the machines so that they are clean when the members arrive to use them. Once everything was finished and the gym was ready to open, they all sat down and had their morning beverages while chatting. After that, they opened the door at the usual hour to let members in so they could all start working out.

Natsu: *I'm currently spotting Nia as she does some benchpresses, making sure she's doing it correctly and not pushing herself past her current capacity.*

Nia: *pushes out the last one in her set and returns it to the rack. She sits up and wipes away the sweat on her face.* Natsu where is the girl who chose you as her personal trainer? I haven't seen her in the last few days.

Natsu: She is currently at the beach doing a photo shoot, which will take a few days. That is why she has not come to the gym, why do you ask?

Nia: I was just curious, considering you rarely take on anyone as a personal trainer because you try to be there for your sister as much as possible.

Natsu: Well, with her, it's a little different since we're dating and my sister is a huge fan of hers, so I kind of went with the flow, but lately, my sister doesn't need me as much as she used to because she's gradually getting more independent.

Nia: I see, thanks for spotting for me. I suppose I'm done for the day; I'll have a shower and go home to rest before heading to work.

Natsu: Okay, I imagine your work keeps you quite busy, huh?

Nia: Yeah, working in an office with those tight clothes and uncomfortable chairs makes me wish I could take more days off, but I have to be strategic about when and how much I use. Coming here to work out is the only time I feel like myself, yet working out at the gym does not pay my bills, so I must go to work even if it is a pain.

Natsu: We all have roles to carry out, and even if they are not ideal, someone has to do them.

Nia: Yeah, I know, so I'm off to take a shower. Keep up your excellent work. She stands up grabs her unused towel and whips off the machine she then heads to the shower to wash off the sweat that she accumulated throughout her workout.*

Natsu starts walking towards the staffroom to take a little break before returning to work. As he walks, he overhears some unpleasant words from two women.

1: You know, being so buff is extremely unattractive; you went beyond that.

2: I know, who would want someone who is built like a brick wall?
