The pond's surface after Master Koji has tossed the stone into the water

The pond's surface after Master Koji has tossed the stone into the water. Ripples spread outwards from where the stone entered, distorting the clear reflection of the trees and sky. Hiro stands beside Master Koji, watching the ripples with a confused expression. The surrounding garden is lush and green, with the tranquility of the scene momentarily disrupted by the ripples. Soft light filters through the trees, adding to the serene yet contemplative mood of the scene."
