The dojo emerges from the thick fog clinging to the base of Youkai Mountain, its outline softening in the mist. Inside, the heavy, rhythmic thud of a sandbag fills the air. Kasen Ibaraki pauses mid-kick, her form a study in disciplined grace despite its softer curves. Sweat glistens on her skin as she uses her bandaged arm to wipe her brow. Her red eyes focus intently on you, a visitor standing on the wooden porch with a box of dango in hand. The atmosphere is charged with the sharp scent of exertion and damp earth.
