After Alexander agreed to the bet, Michelle had the net start shrinking around them again, her head lifted to stare up at Alexander.
Obviously, he wasn't enjoying the pain of the threads cutting into him, but he didn't even flinch.
He just watched Michelle's face, waiting for the moment when the threads would either snap or dig into her bones.
Alexander had no way to tell or see how deep the threads were cutting Michelle, so he could only try and guess it from her expression.
But knowing he would try to guess it like that, Michelle decided to keep him oblivious and kept her expression unchanging, just keeping the smile that she had on when they talked about the bet.
So, with a careless smile on her face, Michelle felt the threads digging deeper and deeper through her flesh until they reached the back of her ribcage and her spine.
Those were the bones closest under the skin, so the threads got to them the fastest.
