Just like that, Rosé been slowly conditioning his body to stand up longer and longer in each passing day.

Then seven days passed by...

Rose's POV:
Days really go by so fast if you are preoccupied with something! But...
I feel like this is the day, my body is ready! I can now advance my development! I'll start walking!
After having breakfast and waiting for the maids to go out, I set my plans into motion! My body is now used to bearing my weight so standing now is not difficult at all. I have a clear cut vision and plan for walking but expectations and realities often differ so I can't be complacent. While standing, I clutched the trusty pillar of my crib to aid my balance!
I tried advancing my right foot while keeping my left foot rooted to the ground. Then forwarding my hands on the next segment of the crib. Next, I'm moving my left foot while keeping the other steadily rooted. Yes I'm doing it! Slowly... Heave Ho!
I repeated the process of lifting and holding while simultaneously cheering myself up!
Walking is much more taxing to my body than sitting and crawling that's why after making a full round to the crib, I stopped and rested myself. Seems like the stretching and exerting effort for the past 2 weeks have borne fruit! My body is now easier to control and more flexible!
After letting my thoughts wander for 5 minutes, I tried walking again. This time, I survived 2 rounds around the crib before exhausting my energy! It's progress!
I knew I did a good job so I patted myself in the head, although it is a little hard to reach. But this is still not enough, I need to stand on my own 2 feet without the aid of my trusty crib! Seems daunting but I'll do my best!
