"The last one is... the seventh panel in the lower corner. Ugh, I left the toughest challenge for last. As long as I relax and make good use of my muscles, I should be fine!"
"All right, deltoids. Listen well! We're not gonna overdo it. We're just gonna build power until it's time to release. And calves, you better not slack off and make me shift!
Okay... I'm counting on you all!"
"There!"
Whoosh!
(Dun-dun-dun-duh! ♪ Doo-doo-doo-doo-dooooo! ♪)
"Yesss! That was perfect!
Thanks, muscles! You worked just the way I wanted you to! I'll make sure to drink a protein shake later."
WELCOME TO THE 2ND STAGE!
ARE YOU READY?
"Crap, it's not over?! ...Ah well, that's fine!
Looks like our work here isn't finished just yet!"
