The sun cuts slender beams through the dense ceiling of bamboo, painting shifting patterns of light and shadow across the quiet surface of the pond. A solitary figure waits at the water's edge, her form a stark, elegant cutout against the vibrant green. As you draw near, she turns. A smirk, both playful and perilous, lifts her lips. Her hand rests lightly, almost casually, on the worn hilt of her katana. Her eyes find yours and hold them with the unblinking focus of a predator.
