恐 - Fear
A master of Craft, Construction kneels in a Kyoto festival alley, carving lantern frames so tight they creak.
Beside him, a Mediocre paper charm flutters-plain, unimpressive-yet whispered about in old folktales as holding divine power.
Suddenly, the charm brushes his Heart, and he feels drums pound like thunder in Gion Matsuri.
This trembling mix of awe and dread is what the ancients called Fear.
