Not sure when they arrived.
No one saw them leave. But they changed something while they were here.

The room was not large. About twelve steps across if you moved normally, fewer if you practiced correctly.
Most people arrived thinking movement had to be large to matter. They would extend the arms too far, shift their weight too quickly, turn the shoulders as if they were trying to show the motion to someone else.
No one corrected them immediately.
After a few weeks the body begins to notice its own excess.
The sleeves start brushing the air instead of cutting through it. Steps shorten on their own.
At that point the room becomes useful.
You stop thinking about the movement and begin noticing everything around it. The sound of the floor under your heel. The delay between intention and balance. The way fabric follows half a second behind the arm.
The exercises were never difficult. Just repeated long enough that unnecessary effort had nowhere left to hide.
Two states have been observed during practice.
Olive appears most often in the early morning sessions when the room is quiet and the air has not warmed yet.
Ochre appears later, once the body has settled into the rhythm and movement becomes less careful.
No difference in the form itself. Only the atmosphere around it.

The strange part of repetition is that it does not feel repetitive from the inside.
The first ten attempts are about remembering what to do. After that the body starts negotiating with gravity in small ways.
One shoulder lowers slightly. The stance widens without permission
Sleeves move differently depending on the temperature of the room.
Someone watching would see the same movement again and again. The person performing it knows that each attempt is slightly different.
Most people stop before that difference becomes interesting.

Static was expected. You’re in. Don’t blink.
The room is usually empty again by late afternoon.
The floor holds the marks of the morning practice for a while. After a few hours even those disappear.
Nothing else remains.
Except the movement, which tends to follow people outside without asking.
