Two boys stand in a grassy clearing at the edge of a dense forest, near a weathered wooden training post. On the left, an East Asian boy of 12 with spiky blond hair and bright blue eyes, whisker-like marks on his cheeks, wears an orange and black jumpsuit; he kneels, supporting the back of a second East Asian boy of 12 with spiky brown hair and a smug grin, who sits unsteadily on the grass, twin daggers strapped to his thighs. The blond boy’s hand is placed firmly on the brown-haired boy’s shoulder, steadying him as the latter coughs once, a dry, rasping sound. The clearing is bathed in the low, golden light of late afternoon, casting long, soft shadows from the trees. A few leaves drift down from the canopy above. The mood is quiet, grounded, and determined, with a hint of wry humor in the brown-haired boy’s expression. No text, no labels.
