The morning light filtered through the windows of the gym, bouncing off the chrome dumbbells.
Romeo, the black and white coyote with long brown hair, was finishing a set of bench presses. Calm and precise, he watched his reflection in the mirror: 149 lbs and 5'11" tall, slim and a little too thin for his liking, but balanced. Next to him, Garry, the 23-year-old golden retriever with a golden fur , wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel that seemed too small for his enthusiasm. At 198 lbs and 6'3", he already looked imposing and strong.

“Guys, I have an idea!” he said with a big smile. “How about we all bulk up? Like... for real!”

Romeo raised an eyebrow, skeptical.
Andreas, the serious and humble lynx with his neat and charming features, rolled his eyes.

“Bulk up... you mean... get fat?” asked Romeo.
“Not get fat, man! Build!” replied Garry, pounding his chest. “More muscle, more power!”

Romeo remained silent. He liked rigor, precision, discipline. Garry liked burgers and silly challenges. However, he finally shrugged his shoulders:
“I'll think about it.”
