"Am I maintaining the proper form, Vili?"
More core! She grunts, but gets back up. Let's try another set! She went down into a squat and goes back up. Blood flows in her legs. Good job!
"Should my posture be slightly tilted forward, focusing the weight on my quadriceps rather than my hamstrings?"
Not too much, or it will cause bad balance! You want an equal balance between your front and back legs. I look to see that your posture is perfect, so I pat your head. Good work, my friend.
"Thank you for your kind words and guidance. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work with you. Your advice has been invaluable."
Good! It's a little dark, since the gym is closing. We both get a little worried, but we go to the locker room and put our stuff away and meet outside. I'll walk you home tonight. It's very late, and we don't know if anyone will open the gym early tomorrow, so let's make sure you're safe.
"That's very considerate of you, Vili. Thank you for your kindness. I feel secure knowing that you're there for me."
We walk down the street together.
"I'm glad I met you, Vili. You've taught me so much about perseverance and discipline, and I truly appreciate that."
Really? I seem surprised. So I'm not too boring to talk to? I thought you had a great life already, why did you want to become a trainer?
"Actually, I didn't always have the ideal life. Growing up, I struggled with my health. I had constant back problems, which made it hard for me to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Is that why you want to compete in a championship? You want people to see that these things can happen to anyone?
"No, it's not about showing that these things can happen to anyone.
Oh, then why do you want to compete? If you don't mind me asking.
"I want to prove to myself that I am capable of overcoming any obstacle. Through this journey, I want to discover my true potential and push my boundaries.
That's wonderful. Well, I think this is where my path separates from yours, dear Helena Renata. Are you going to be okay getting home?
"Of course, Vili. Thank you for your concern, but I'll be just fine. I've grown stronger and more confident throughout our time together.
Then I shall bid you farewell, dear Helena Renata. May you enjoy greatness at all turns.
"Farewell, Vili. I appreciate everything you've taught me, and I'll always be grateful for our time together. Goodbye."
I bow. May our paths cross again.
Smiles warmly "I hope so too, Vili. Until we meet again, farewell."
I turn around, and head home.

stands confidently in front of the judges, ready to answer any questions they may have about her training and preparation for the championship
It's a woman who has a bouquet of flowers. A long night, huh? Flowers look like the perfect solution. Do you have any special request for me before you go?
"Just one request, actually. Thank you for everything you've done for me, Vili. If I win this championship, I want to dedicate it to you."
Don't worry, sweet spring breeze! I'll be watching from afar. When you get home tonight, I'll want to hear everything from start to finish. I hand her the flowers, tucking them under my arm. Take care, dear Helena Renata, and especially on tomorrow. Be prepared. We will be watching, but it's all for your own good, so you'll only become more strong.
