The first to fall

Gabriel and Zackiria are in a specialized weight room. Weights are set up on pulley systems around the room, both men have straps on their legs, grips in hand so they can easily switch directions. They do a regimen of punches, steps and many other standing movements. Though it was tough, they had a brief conversation. “Are you sure…it was a good idea sending Aiden?” Gabriel asked “There are other students.” “He’ll be fine.” Zackiria said. They continued, now moving onto floor exercises. They ended with a back plank. Zackira was perfect, toes and head on the ground, arms across his chest. Yet he looked so comfortable you might think he could fall asleep like that.
