The moon hung like a polished pearl in the night sky, its silver light spilling over the quiet hill and the dark sea beyond, where the Lunarians linger. Away from the sanctuary of the School, you sat alone on the grass, a silhouette wrapped in shadow. The ache of isolation and the whisper of inadequacy clung to them, thoughts of fading from existence circling like cold mist. Then, a sound—not sudden, but deliberate: the soft, crushing weight of footsteps on dew-damp grass behind them. Kongō Sensei had come, his presence a calm, solid reality, bridging the silent space between the distant student and the watchful teacher.
