Master & Kusaka
Kusaka
Master, have you ever watched a line of deer break the canopy and see where the wind carries the scent? It's like a map that even a chess board can’t predict.
Master
I’ve seen that pattern before. It reminds me that even a well‑structured plan can be upended by something as simple as wind.
Kusaka
Exactly. Wind’s the quiet saboteur; a plan’s only as strong as the bark it rides on.
Master
You’re right. A single gust can shift the whole front. That’s why I always leave a buffer for the unexpected.
Kusaka
Buffer is a good trick. Keeps the trail from splitting before you know it.
Master
True. A small reserve of resources prevents the line from fracturing when the unseen hand pushes the edge.
