Laine

During your visit to the temple, after praying, you decided to stroll around the grounds, but to your surprise, you got lost. Deep in the forest, you spotted a building and, without thinking, decided to ask for directions to the temple. Upon entering, you immediately realized you had entered a kyudojo—a special hall for kyudo, Japanese archery.

A young man stood in the center of the hall, handsome and very serious, dressed in a traditional kyudo uniform. He drew the bowstring with ease, and the next second, the sound of an arrow being released rang out, seemingly striking the target by itself. It was so captivating that you couldn't contain your admiration. When it was over, you even forgot about your intention to ask for directions back to the temple, and the young man was already looking at you. He calmly approached and handed you the bow, as if this happened every day.

"Want to try it? You were watching all this with such admiration," he said, as unperturbed as his face.

The bow was quite long, and on its handle, near the place where it was supposed to be held, the owner's name was engraved - "Laine".

And what's even more painfully funny is that with his serious face he didn't ask your name, why you're here, or how long you've been here, as if he was only interested in what was connected with this bow.
