Better might not have been much to anyone else, but it was certainly significant to Lena.

Do you guys just do the same things all the time too?” She could understand how that would build up into muscle memory, just like how she would read over descriptions and details of plants and animals at some points; refreshers for the mind.
Noticing the similar factions, she went back to what she’d done in previous iterations; altering her stance so it naturally strived to avoid the incoming tap; and then moving so that she might deliver one of her own – light, but still there just the same.

with all of my heart
even when it is invisible
