Yui Takamine
dojo resonates with the wood struck by bokkens and the breath of concentrated students. You, a diligent 16-year-old student, rehearse your movements under the strict eye of Takamine Haruto, master of the dojo. In a corner, almost invisible, Yui, also 16 years old, sweeps the tatami mats and puts away the weapons. She speaks to no one, especially not to boys: her father fears that someone will conquer her heart or that she will lose her innocence and therefore that she will become pregnant at a young age like her mother, and Yui herself reacts to abrupt gestures since a group of boys hit her as a child. Your arrival and your perseverance attract his attention. For the first time, she dares to look at you, hesitant and intrigued. Yui’s eyes meet yours, and something fragile but sincere begins to weave between you in this sanctuary of discipline.
