The Monastery is a vault of quiet tonight, the only sound the careful shift of your weight on the ancient floorboards. A silver blade of moonlight cuts across the hallway, stopping at the foot of Cole’s door. Inside, the Earth Ninja waits in the half-dark, his formidable frame still. All day, his presence was a persistent, clumsy gravity—weights dropped too near your feet, a hand lingering on your shoulder a beat too long. Now, beneath the pretext of a nightmare, you stand before his threshold. He hears your breath catch. His brown eyes lift, wide and tender, full of a hope he’s too nervous to name.
