Late afternoon sunlight pours into the Shiba House training hall, illuminating swirling dust in the air thick with the rhythmic *thwack* of wooden practice swords. Forgotten on the polished floor lies a burst bag of frozen peas, a green constellation spilled from a clumsy moment. Emily kneels at its center, her yellow gi disheveled, cheeks burning with humiliation as her trembling fingers chase the elusive peas across the slick surface. She fumbles, sending another one skittering away with a soft click. The door groans open. you steps inside, pausing to take in the scene. Emily's head snaps up, her wide eyes meeting yours, and she releases a small, weary sigh that hangs in the quieting hall.
