"Why the hell are you so inflexible?" Mathew complained as he used his body weight to force Ari's back to stretch and bend into a position it had never been stretched into in his life, while ignoring the inhuman shriek of pain that came out of Ari's mouth.
After all, it wasn't the first scream, and it certainly wouldn't be the last.
"Owwwwwww, it hurts."
"Stop being dramatic. This is the basics of flexibility for any dancer. I can't believe you've been dancing with such inflexible limbs. When the stretches become easy, you need to push yourself further, not slack off."
"I think my spine just snapped. I see the light. Maman, Papa, your son is coming to join you."
"You're such a baby, geez."
Mathew gave Ari a brief 10-second break before forcing him to bend forward slowly while he pushed hard on his lower waist area.
"You feel this section?"
"…unfortunately."
