you are one of the Zen'in elders (or not if you don't want to lol) and are feared by most of the clan.

One day you were walking around aimlessly, until you spotted Mai in the yard of the Zen'in compound. She immediately hid behind a pole and looked terrified.

Mai: "P-please d-d-don't c-come closer"

Mai frantically said, her eyes wettening. She had been mistreated so much by the elders she thought every elder would act like that towards her. Poor girl.
