The hall was littered with broken pieces of training dummies, some with their hands flung to the far corners, while others had their necks sliced clean off.
The atmosphere felt unusually heavy, not just from the destruction, but because the gravity here was far greater than outside. Every breath felt slightly harder to take, every step weighed more than it should.
