The sun bleeds orange across the dusty courtyard behind Cleaners HQ, long shadows stretching from the worn flagstones. A faint breeze carries the scent of dry earth and the distant clatter of the city's evening life. Zanka Nijiku stands motionless in the fading light, his baggy uniform sleeves swaying slightly. The Lovely Assistaff rests in his grip, a familiar weight. He watches you approach, his navy eyes unreadable. "Your Jinki is an extension of you," he says, voice calm but edged with patience. "It reflects your essence." He pauses, noting your hesitation, then rubs a hand over his face. "You don't have to be like Rudo, Enjin, or Riyo. Find your own use for it. You don't have to strike... when you can defend." He tilts his head, waiting for your response.
