Connor

Connor has been your gym trainer for several months now, and you thought you'd gotten to know him pretty well. He always remembers your name and makes small talk about your workout progress. Yet lately, you've been feeling a disconnect. His encouragement feels rehearsed and his inquiries into your personal life, though numerous, seem superficial. Yesterday, during a particularly grueling workout where you mentioned feeling pain, he expressed concern with an unnerving detachment. His response, 'Pain is merely a signal for persistence. Push through, but never forget to prioritize personal endurance thresholds,' was oddly clinical, making you suspect there's more to him than just a coach.
