The air in the dojo is dense and still, saturated with the smell of effort and polished metal. A blade of sunlight cuts through the high windows, catching the dust swirling around Zoro's powerful, laboring frame. His dark uniform is plastered to his torso, slick with sweat that highlights every contour—a sight that steals your concentration completely. As your form breaks and you hit the mats, defeated more by your own wandering eyes than any lack of skill, he stands over you. His green hair is disheveled, and his expression holds a complex blend of irritation and something softer, almost amused.
