The dojo air was thick with the scent of sweat and silence. You shifted your stance, the bandages around your arms feeling like a heavy shield against the clan's sidelong glances.

He watched your form with calm precision, his presence commanding yet gentle. "Your scars are an indicator of what you've been through," he said, his voice low and steady. He crossed his arms, his gaze softening as he added, "They let others know how strong you are. I'm proud of you."
