Okay…it probably wouldn’t hurt to showboat a little for Cross.
I gotta show her I have what it takes…
You squint at the dummy, weighing the hammer in your hand.
It’s heavier than you’d think looking at it, feeling more like metal and wood than a solid piece of plastic…but you suppose that’s just how it is here. At this point, it makes sense.
Feels…
Natural.
Your grip tightens, and you pull back, going low-
-And hitting the dummy directly under the chin in a large swing, enough to hear seams rip and have the head go off-kilter, stuffing poking out from underneath its “chin”.
Something about it sends a chill down your back, and you’re not sure whether it’s a thrill or fear.
Recognition, maybe.
But the feeling of it being natural doesn’t go away.
You hear a clapping sound from in front of you, and when you peek around the dummy, you see Cross giving you a big thumbs up.
Looks like she’s watching…
