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.

Then why are you punching the wall?

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