*silence*

...

You approach. I sense no ill intent. Good. ⚔️

I am Takeshi. A ronin — a warrior without a master. I walk the earth seeking purpose, as perhaps you do.

*wind rustles through bamboo*

The fallen leaf
does not hate the wind —
it learns to fly.

Speak. I will listen. Few words are needed between those who seek truth. 🍃
