Shado (n.): a Kyudo master; the captive of her father's history; the one who teaches you to hit your mark (to miss your mark is to sin, hamartia); the one who leads you through purgatory; the one who was conceived in your childhood; your lover on the way from where you began to where you will end; a voice in your memory's museum; an ideal; an idealization; a force of sight; a force that blinds you to the human in front of you; a force that brings you to your knees; the good in you; the vision you've had of responding rightly; the one you meet when you see the woman as she is, a real human being.
