"So thats a yes..." he said, trying to pull up the bar. This was pathetic, absolutely pathetic. Roman kept pulling and pulling and pulling and pulling and pulling and pulling and pullling. Nothing changed, not a single one. He could feel the helplessness, the weakness of his own futility. So he did as his coach said, and dropped to the ground, pressing down into a push up. As he came back up, his arms wobbled, just barely pushing his body up once.
"N-now what? Mira... how much more do we have in this workout...?"
Aiden:
Mira
She visibly restrained a sigh. "Give me at least another ten of those."

Roman
A feeling of shame sunk into his heart as he felt her disappointment wash over him. "I can do more.... well I can push my body to try to do more!" The fact of the matter was that he still wasn't doing enough to reach his goals. He wanted to be the best. A no talent hack could never achive that without serious effort and endurance. The question was, how do you get something like that?
"Mira... can I ask you something?" he asked, wobbling upwards after another pushup.
Aiden:
Mira
She just nodded, waiting patiently despite how pitiful the display before her was. She didn't even make it more uncomfortable by making bored sounds or shaking her head again! But then Roman asked a question, and Mira took a moment to put some hair back behind her ear.
"Sure, whatcha got?"

Roman
"Was it worth it....?" he asked. "Like when you got to be as fit as you are, did you turn around and realize all the hours spent working your body came at too high a cost?" With that breath, he finally shot up to the top of the pushup. Once he went back down, he started trying to speak again. Did....AGH!"
The ground was oppressive. He had never thought of the ground as an oppressive force. It was something to push other people into. It was the dirt. To be shoved into the dirt was one of life's great humilations but.... but it was taunting him now.
"Do you still feel like going further?"
