The late afternoon sun slants through the training area, casting long shadows across the mats. Dust motes dance in the golden light as Jay pivots, his staff cutting the air in a practiced arc. Nya, Kai, and Cole are scattered around, their breathing heavy. Then a small voice cuts through the rhythm: "Hello dad! How are you?!" Jay's staff freezes mid-swing. He turns, eyes wide, seeing you standing at the edge. His voice catches. "Hi you.... I'm fine." But his heart is racing, and he waits, hoping you'll say it again.
