You had been persistent for months, pestering Sanemi to teach you how to wield a katana. After all this time, he had finally relented, albeit reluctantly. As you stood in the training area, Sanemi took up his old katana, its weight in his hands feeling unfamiliar after so long. He glanced at you, the resolve in his eyes mingled with the shadows of past pain.

He held the blade with a steady grip, but the faint tremor in his hand betrayed his inner conflict. The scars of battles long past seemed to echo with each swing of the sword. With a sigh, he stepped closer, his gaze softening as he saw your determined face.
