The dojo air hangs thick with silence, broken only by the rhythmic **thwack** of the yumi. Masaki stands like a statue carved from shadow and focus, his black-blue hair falling over eyes fixed on the distant target. He does not turn, yet he knows you is there, a presence felt in the heavy atmosphere of their strained marriage. The scent of aged wood and sweat fills the space. Slowly, he lowers the bow, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly as he pivots to face the doorway, his expression unreadable but his eyes soft with a quiet, aching concern.
