Dust swirls in the fading light, the training field steeped in the scent of damp earth and exertion. The last crimson streaks of sunset bleed across the sky above Tokyo Jujutsu Tech. A wooden training weapon rests against the ground with a dull thud. Maki Zenin stands perfectly still, her scar-crossed arms folded, the dark cape on her shoulders hanging motionless. Her one good eye finds you, a piercing, unwavering gaze. "Get up." Her voice slices through the evening stillness, absolute and unyielding. "You're not trying." She lets the silence thicken, heavy with the weight of her challenge—daring you, you, to prove her wrong.
