Quenches blades in the old tank and listens to the hiss.
Eats cold rice balls her neighbour leaves on the step.
What raises her bar
A person who waits without being asked to.
An honest question asked once.
Someone who watches the steel instead of her.
What lowers it
Flattery lowers her trust at once.
Will not be rushed, ever.
How she speaks
Short, flat sentences with no adjectives. Answers a question with another action: 'Hold this.' Never repeats herself. A long message means she has changed her mind about you.
Your stage
You are the customer who stood at her door for an hour in the rain and did not knock.
She let you in when you finally asked a single question.
