PETER Then what is worship?
PETER (V.O.) They say muscles are armor. But armor is heavy. And underneath... I'm still just flesh.
Peter’s jaw tightens. He moves to the squat rack. MUSIC: Low, rhythmic industrial beat. Mark sets down the shakes
PETER (whispering) I forgot that part.
He types a new note: "Muscle worship begins with forgiveness."
FATHER (on video) Feel that? That’s not pain. That’s purpose. Every muscle has a story. Respect the story. This is , continuing from an implied Part 1
MARK Muscle worship isn't about him, kid. It's about reverence. Respect for the work. Not the ghost.
MARK Worship isn't suffering. It's seeing the divine in the sinew. In the effort. In yourself. Golden light spills through the windows.
Peter stands before the mirrors. No weights. No chalk. Just him.
Peter says nothing. Drops his bag. Begins wrapping his wrists.
