The offer of work for free room and board at the Buddhist monk's temple was a welcome relief for him. It was work Jin was familiar with and running the boards brought him comfort. If he focused on the lengths and joints of each floorboard, it was like he was back in the school, performing assigned duties once more. He could almost hear the clacking of the bamboo and wooden practice swords as he passed the west wing, the clang and clash of katana passing the east. It sounded like his teacher's voice shouting a reproach before the heavy bang and reverberate of a deflected sword hitting the ground.
The boddhitsvah statue crashing through the rice doors before him disturbed and broke the memory.
