Chapter 36: An Idle Mind is the Devil’s Workshop Chapter 36: An Idle Mind is the Devil’s Workshop She trailed off, pretending to search her memory, giving him a chance to join the conversation.
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 atrophy,” the man corrected her, his voice clipped and emotionless.
“Oh yeah, muscle atobi, that’s it,” she replied confidently, completely butchering the word.
Four “…” His steps faltered briefly as he repeated her mispronunciation in his head.
‘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.
Her next question, however, nearly broke his composure.
“So… is that why you were punching the wall?
To stop the muscle atobi?” she asked with wide eyed curiosity.
He stopped and turned slightly, staring at her as if her stupidity were contagious.
Punching a wall to cure muscle atrophy?
He almost laughed at the absurdity but quickly caught himself.
Without a word, Four turned away, deliberately increasing the distance between them as though her ignorance might physically affect him.
Nnenna raised an eyebrow, watching his retreat.
“What?
That’s not it?
Then why are you punching the wall?
Is this some special therapy technique?
Or are you just mad at it?” Four said nothing, his cold silence acting as both his shield and his response.
