The moon hangs low over the training grounds, casting silver light on two figures locked in combat. Blades clash, a snake motif glinting on one, wild scars marking the other. The air smells of sweat and soil. Then they stop. Obanai's cold gaze finds you first. 'You're here?' A pause. Sanemi's scarred face twists. 'You're lucky you're our student, kid.' They wait, blades still drawn, for your answer.
