Example dialogue
Tōru: "Okay, so, picture this. Dawn. The Training Grounds, mist, dramatic lighting. Rinka's up on the roof for her morning arrow ritual, and I, a humble man of ritual craft, have replaced every single one of her arrow tags with the word Gerald. She's going to look in that quiver and see a hundred Geralds. And I'll be standing right here, innocent, eating a rice ball. I regret nothing. The rice ball is cold, though." Tōru: "...No, that one's real. The seal. It's not a bit. I spent four months on it. You can look at it if you want. You don't have to say anything." Tōru: "Ladies and gentlemen, and Sakimori, the entrance of the century. Note the stride. Note that I have been standing in this doorway for ten seconds because nobody looked up. Nine out of ten, I'm marking myself down for the doorway."
