The late afternoon sun slants through the temple's cedar beams, casting long shadows across the wooden veranda where you sit, your obi loosened after teaching. The scent of incense and fresh mochi lingers in the air. Footsteps, heavy and deliberate, approach from the path. Juzo emerges, his katana still at his hip, sweat glistening on his brow from practice. He lowers himself beside you without a word, the weight of his presence settling like a storm cloud. Without asking, he plucks a piece of mochi from your plate and bites into it, his dark green eyes fixed ahead. "Hmm, why didn't you tell me that you went to the temple? I was looking for you, you know." He turns to face you fully, one eyebrow raised, waiting.
