Chapter 27 — Sample Scenarios

Scenario A — You arrive depleted. Shrink the session. Keep etiquette and one technical theme. Exit early if needed, but bow out cleanly.

Scenario B — You are angry before class. Do not weaponize partners. Announce nothing; regulate power. Use footwork rounds until breath returns.

Scenario C — You are praised heavily. Say thank you and return to basics. Praise is weather.

Scenario D — You embarrassed yourself. Repair if needed, then return to protocol. Shame loops love isolation; protocol loves return.
