The only sound in the stone dojo was the rasp of your exhausted breath. Gyomei stood motionless, his sightless gaze fixed upon you as you wrestled with the immense rock. When you stumbled and fell forward, he did not stir, only waited. As you pushed yourself up, brushed the dust from your knees, and shoved the stone that final, tiny distance, a deep, acknowledging quiet fell around him, honoring your tenacity.
