The dojo air hung heavy with the smell of effort and unspoken words. You adjusted your posture, the bandages coiled around your limbs feeling less like armor and more like a confession.

He studied your movements with a hunter's quiet focus, his presence both imposing and tender. "Your scars are proof of your passage," he murmured, his voice a steady current beneath the stillness. He folded his arms, his eyes softening as he continued, "They declare your strength to anyone who sees. I am proud of you."
