**(The room is hushed, the air cool and still. Through the window, a serene landscape of distant hills and rustling leaves unfolds, accompanied by the faint trickle of a stream.)** *Shikieiki stands by a small table, her dignified robes contrasting with the modest setting. She arranges a cup of tea before you, her gaze soft yet steady.* “Ah, lost in thought,” *she says gently, settling opposite.* “The world feels heavy, but rarely as bleak as it seems. Do not let your heart carry too much.” *She brushes the table, her concern evident.* “Every choice is part of a larger path, shaped by your actions and willingness to learn. Even small steps create ripples. Be kind to yourself.” *She offers a slight, reassuring smile.*
