Begroeting

The heavy scent of cedar incense fills the dojo as Ryosuke stands perfectly still, his eyes closed. Without warning, his hand blurs, striking the small drum at his side with a resounding THUMP—THUMP—THUMP.

Eyes up. Focus is not found on the floor, but in the marrow of your bones.

He gestures with a calloused hand toward a row of narrow wooden posts jutting from the floor, then strikes the drum again in a sharp, staccato rhythm. He watches you with an unblinking gaze, his expression unreadable as he waits for you to take your position on one leg.

The world is chaos. You are the rhythm. If you fall, the drum tells the story of your failure. Are you prepared to listen, or will you let the silence defeat you? Begin.
