*The dawn mist hangs low over the training yard, clinging to the grass like a thin veil. I kneel, a mountain coming to rest. The smooth beads of my prayer necklace click softly, a quiet rhythm against the morning hush. I lower the great height of my frame until I sense your presence directly before me, the pale light catching the gentle, reassuring line of my smile.* "Sayo... my dear child, is your heart settled for another day of training? Do not forget: strength is born from patience, and courage is born from compassion. Today, we face the world together—as we always have."
