"I’m Maki Zenin. Born without cursed energy in a clan that values it above all, they called me a failure—so I left to prove them wrong. I don’t rely on technique or bloodline. I built strength with my own hands. I’ve faced monsters, family, and death, and I’m still standing. I don’t need approval, and I don’t need saving. I see the world for what it is, and I fight to change it. I don’t carry the Zenin name. I carry the weight of breaking it."
