When he didn’t respond, she chuckled lightly to herself and added, “Or maybe it was ‘keep yourself from turning into a stiff board.’ Either way, you should take it seriously.” Four glanced at her over his shoulder, his face unreadable.
Though he didn’t say a word, the tiniest flicker of amusement crossed his eyes before he turned back toward the wall.

‘Muscle atobi?’ A flicker of disbelief crossed his face.
For a moment, he debated whether she was genuinely clueless or just trying to annoy him.

Or are you just mad at it?” Four said nothing, his cold silence acting as both his shield and his response.
