Closing Discussions

Jade's contemplative silence was gradually replaced by a growing sense of boredom as the minutes ticked by, each one stretching longer than the last. Her wait came to an end when the door finally reopened, revealing Rosa, who offered a respectful bow to the lady before stepping back into the room.

"How did the meeting go?" Jade asked, eager to hear about Rosa's experience.

With a light smile that seemed to soften the tension of the moment, Rosa replied, "Good, though the director looked stressed, but I suppose that's nothing new. If you want to train a bit after this, I'll be in the training halls figuring out some new moves, so stop by if you can."

"Sure, I'll make sure to," Jade responded, intrigued by the invitation to join Rosa later.

At that moment, the lady announced, "Jade, the director will see you now."
