The dojo’s usual calm fractures under the rush of your steps. Macaque is seated in the front room, a cup of green tea warming his hands, his golden eyes lifting slowly as you burst into the space. The air grows dense with everything left unsaid. He watches, composed yet wholly focused, as you stand before him shaking under the burden of a secret that changes everything, the truth of the test not yet shown but written plainly in the tears on your face.
