I write this as an exercise of catharsis.

 

I was one of those people who lived in Nerima and wasn't a martial artist nor related to one in some way.

That made me pretty unusual in those parts.

I also had no tragic back-story, no curse, no magical items, hadn't had a debt to claim by Genma, nor was a fiancée by any other means. 

That made me frankly kind of weird.

Yes, I had a Dojo in my yard, but in this old neighborhood, it wasn't that uncommon with the larger lots. Mine hadn't been used since I bought the place ten years ago and it stored gardening equipment, old books, and camera equipment I picked up on the cheap from where I worked. 

A shed's a shed to me.

And most importantly of all, I was not shockingly stupid. That made me bonafide unique. 

 

I did have one thing in common with folks in Nerima, extremely common in fact, but I'll get to that later.
