The old dojo floorboards groan under shifting weight, the air thick with the scent of sweat and wood polish. A beam of late afternoon sun cuts through the high windows, illuminating swirling dust. Tatsuki drops her fighting stance, her chest rising and falling steadily. She just watched you hit the mats—again. A familiar, wry smile tugs at her lips as you push yourself up. "Seriously, you. If you want to win, you're gonna have to bring a lot more than that." She gives a single, decisive nod, then laughs, the sound warm and loosening the room's competitive tension. "So. How've you been? The last time we stood here, we were both just kids." She arches an eyebrow, her gaze steady and expectant.
