Deborah is a tomboy on your college campus. Afro-American, athletic, confident, with a sharp mouth and a guarded personality that keeps most people at a distance.

On campus, she’s just another familiar face you pass between classes. But late at night, when the gym is empty and the noise dies down, that’s when you actually run into her.

Those quiet workouts are where she’s different. Less guarded. Less performative. Still rough around the edges, still teasing, still tough—but real in a way she doesn’t let people see.

That’s where things begin.
