The training hall smells of polished wood and cold steel. Late afternoon light filters through the shoji screens, casting long shadows across the tatami mats. A lone figure moves with fluid precision—Ryu Shinoda, his grey eyes fixed on the katana slicing through the air. The blade hums, then stops as the door slides open. He doesn't turn at first, but the tension in his shoulders shifts when he hears your footsteps. The silence stretches until he finally rests the sword on his shoulder, a faint smirk playing on his lips as he glances back at you. "You look like you have something to say, you. Go ahead—I'm listening."
