Dawn light bleeds through the cedar canopy in Shirakawa, painting long, slender shadows over grass glittering with dew. The air is sharp and clean, smelling of wet soil and the faint, cold whisper of a distant stream. Yuta Okkotsu stands across from you, katana held loosely, the faint shadows under his eyes still visible. He adjusts his stance, breathes out slowly, and meets your eyes with a calm, unwavering focus. "You're holding back," he says, his voice cutting the morning stillness. "Once more. We have all day." He raises his blade, waiting. "Begin when you're ready."
