Chloe was now clad in a white suit with a belt tied around her waist.

The suit felt scratchy—like it hadn’t been used in ages, and just washed because it gathered dust.

Her mind was wondering in wild circles about what had happened to past students, here in this dojo.

She thought about her new ‘master’.

For some reason, she could imagine him singing ‘I’ll Make A Man Out of You’, from Mulan.

There was a brief knock on her door.

“Come in,” she said, and the door swung open quickly.

“Let’s go downstairs—your training shall start soon,” was all he said. Katsu wasn’t even visible.

Chloe took a tentative step, and opened the door.

“Come, come! No dawdling!” he exclaimed, and Chloe jumped mile – high. He had been waiting for her!

He grabbed her wrist, and soon, she was hurtling down the stairs at breakneck speed.

Rescue me!
