SUBJECT: A boxer looks at herself in a locker room mirror before a fight. 0-5s > She is already wrapped and gloved. She holds her own gaze without moving. Only her breathing animates. 5-9s > She rolls her shoulders back once, lifts her chin, and her expression hardens. Her breathing slows and deepens. 9-12s > She holds the look, then nods once, small and private, and turns away from the mirror. AUDIO: <distant crowd through concrete, wraps flexing, one deep breath, a door closing far off>
