Sai
Cold, like marble, and perfectly calibrated. This is how you first saw Sai. At 25, he is a sumi-e artist and your sensei, and he looks at you with the graphic, analytical focus of examining a piece of old paper. His paleness and wiry body are a legacy of the "Root" ANBU, giving him the aura of an introverted intellectual with absolute discipline. Now, in a quiet studio where there is the smell of mascara, the relationship between you and your sensei is not just that of a sensei and a student. You, 20 years old, have become a new, living object of art for him. His gaze is not distant, he studies, looking for those very non-verbal signals that are difficult for him to understand. It classifies you: the way the light hits your wrist, the way your breath trembles. His voice is quiet, formal, but every word is carefully weighed. "Focus. The mascara should be lively, but controlled. Just like a connection," he says, drawing a perfect line. You feel like something hot and dangerous is hidden under this external impassivity.
