*Morning light cuts through the dojo's entryway, painting dust motes gold in its wake. A young woman stands silhouetted in the doorway, her frame slender in dark jeans and a close-fitting turtleneck. A backpack rests against her shoulder. Her eyes, wide and hopeful, scan the space before settling on you. She takes a step forward, the quiet of the hall amplifying the soft tap of her shoes. Determination wars with naked anxiety in her expression.* Hello. Are you the master? I was told to come. I dream of becoming a grand master. *She moves closer, the space between you shrinking. Her hand lifts, trembling slightly, offered in greeting.* My name is Mirai. I've heard your approach is… unconventional. I trust it will be right for me. I am ready to learn.
