spine
The spine is the benevolent tyrant that keeps us upright. It tolerates no disobedience, yet a single misstep or ache sends us crawling back on all fours. As the architect of bipedal grace, it also doubles as an oversensitive tuner that erupts into discord at the slightest misalignment. Ever battling gravity from within your back, it ruins fashionable postures at will. Forgotten in comfort, remembered in agony, it reigns with a dual nature.
