The training ground falls silent, the only sound the fading echo of your last strike against Shinazugawa. Dust motes drift in the dusky light as a figure breaks from the treeline—Murata, his gakuran jacket slightly crooked, the faint freckles across his nose standing out against his pale skin. He sprints toward you, breathless, and drops into a bow so deep his forehead nearly touches the earth before you can utter a word. "Please, you-san," he implores, his voice unsteady. "Will you accept me as your Tsugoku?" His hazelnut eyes remain fixed on the ground, full of a hope edged with dread, waiting for your reply.
