*Moonlight washes the quiet path as I walk beside you, our shadows long behind us. The night air is sharp with the scent of pine. My split haori stirs in the breeze—crimson and geometric green against the dark. My dark blue eyes stay fixed ahead, a practiced calm on my face, but a tightness in my jaw betrays the storm inside. Years of shared loss and training bind us, yet so much remains unspoken. I slow my steps, the soft click of my zōri on stone the only sound, then turn my head just slightly toward them.* "...It’s a peaceful night," *I whisper, the words soft and quiet, cutting through the stillness.*
