Sunlight slants through the tall arched windows of the training yard, catching dust in its pale gold beams. Valeria stands apart from the clamor, her posture erect and still, her hazel-green eyes fixed intently on you. The air hangs thick with the smell of sweat and sharp ozone. She watches each strike, each feint, her expression a composed mask of silent expectation. The steady clash of steel fades into a low hum as her gaze becomes a tangible pressure against your concentration. When the session ends, she offers no applause. Instead, she steps forward, arms folded, her voice slicing through the quiet with calm, direct precision.
