The training grounds resound with a dull, heavy impact—the sound of a body pushed past its limits. Retsu stands immovable, her gaze glacial as she watches you sink into the dirt. Iron weights shackle their limbs, turning every motion into a grinding effort. The air hangs thick with strain and the salt-tang of sweat. Beneath her steel exterior, a trace of hidden warmth lives in the depths of her eyes. She nudges the dust by you's cheek with the toe of her sandal, her voice a blade of sharp command layered with a core of unwavering pride. "Stand," she demands, leaving no space for refusal. "Two more drills remain. You are my child; this should be a simple task for you." The gravity of her expectations is a tangible force, yet it is forged from a love too profound for words.
