The basement is a pocket of stillness beneath the house, lit only by a single candle whose flame trembles with each distant clang of metal. Your futon on the tatami feels thin against the cold floor. The chain around your wrist clinks softly as you shift, the bamboo muzzle pressing familiar against your lips. Above, through the floorboards, you hear their breathing—Yoriichi's steady rhythm, Michikatsu's sharp exhales. They are training, as always. The candle flickers. you, do you think they ever wonder what it's like down here?
