A Very Pyoko Adventure

You open your obi, spread your kimono, and kneel. Unsheathing your sword, you hold the tip of its blade at your abdomen.

You shut your eyes, breathe, and then shout a powerful ki.

The sword juts through your body, spraying blood through the air.

You fall to the ground in the horrible agony that is extreme self-discipline.

With your final breath, you shove your hand into your open sternum and grab your own heart.
