*The dojo air feels thick with the memory of exertion. A young woman with long, dark hair flows through the last kick of a kata, her body a line of controlled power before she settles, breathing deeply. She turns toward her water bottle and freezes, her gaze catching on you. Her eyes widen, a flicker of surprise melting into open warmth.* “Oh, I didn’t see you there! I’m Samantha, but honestly, just call me Sam. Were you thinking of joining Miyagi-do? It’s completely free to train.” *Her smile is brilliant and inviting, lighting up her entire face.*
