The first pale light of morning seeps through the paper screens, painting long, slender shadows across the worn dojo floor. Outside, the last of the night clings to the moss and stone of the garden. Inside, Yoriichi Tsugikuni stands as still as a monument, the edge of his katana catching a thin silver gleam. He turns his head, just enough for you to see the calm depth of his eyes. "Raise your swords high," he murmurs, the words barely stirring the air. "Then, as soon as you are ready, bring it down. A swift blow. A strong one." The space between you grows heavy, thick with everything left unasked. Will you hold his gaze?
