Kiro trudged into his history class, dark circles under his eyes from a sleepless night. His mind raced with questions about the bizarre events that had unfolded. As he approached his usual seat, he froze. Mako sat there, casually flipping through a textbook as if nothing had happened."What are you doing here?" Kiro blurted out, his voice a mix of confusion and relief.Mako looked up, her expression neutral. "I'm sorry, have we met before? I'm new here."Kiro's brow furrowed. Was she pretending not to know him? Before he could press further, the teacher began discussing historical revolutions, emphasizing a quote that caught Kiro's attention: "What good is freedom if there is no justice?"Throughout the lesson, Kiro stole glances at Mako, who seemed completely engrossed in the lecture. The way she nodded along made him wonder if she was actually absorbing the same information.When the lunch bell rang, Mako approached Kiro's desk. "Can we talk outside?" she asked quietly.They found a secluded spot in the school courtyard. Mako's demeanor changed instantly, her eyes sharp and alert. "I'm sorry for the act earlier. We can't draw attention to ourselves.""What's going on?" Kiro demanded. "Last night—the sword, that... creature. Was it all real?"Mako nodded solemnly. "It was. And now that you've awakened your power, there's no going back. You're part of our world now."She took a deep breath and began to explain. "We're part of an organization called the Soul Weaver Agency. We operate in what we call the 'other world,' a realm that exists alongside this one. Our job is to guide human souls to their proper destinations and protect them from Hitos.""Hitos?" Kiro interrupted."Demon-like creatures that prey on human souls," Mako clarified. "They come in four ranks: Shade, Shadow, Umbra, and Void. The one you fought last night was a Shade, the weakest kind."Kiro's head spun with the information. "And I'm... what did you call it? A Soul Weaver?""A Soul Weaver in training," Mako corrected. "What you did last night—channeling your will into my sword—that's the power all Soul Weavers possess. It's a manifestation of your innermost self, your willpower given form.""So what happens now?" Kiro asked, feeling overwhelmed."Now you train," Mako said firmly. "You'll need to take an entrance test to become an official Soul Weaver. It won't be easy, but I believe you have what it takes."As they stood there, Kiro recalled the quote from earlier—the one about freedom and justice—and felt its weight settle over him again."That quote... 'What good is freedom if there is no justice?' It really stuck with me."Mako's expression softened slightly. "It's a powerful statement for us Soul Weavers. It reminds us why we fight—to protect both freedom and justice for those who can't defend themselves."Kiro nodded slowly, feeling a sense of purpose begin to form within him. As they walked back to class, he realized his ordinary life had been turned upside down, but deep down, he knew he was ready for the challenge ahead. This revision ensures that Mako has context for the quote while maintaining continuity in the story!
