B. Mastering Your Body
Si Yu is a bullet with no color or number. When Si Yu would be removed from your sight, put her in any empty space instead.

C. Mastering Plow Stepping
Plow stepping is a special type of movement unique to Si Yu.
When an action would cause you to plow step, do the following:
- Move in the direction indicated.
- If you would move into a space with a bullet, you attempt to push it in the same direction to move into its space: a. If the bullet would be moved into an empty space, your step succeeds, and you move into the bullet's old space. b. If the bullet would be moved into a space with a bullet of a higher value, clear both bullets, then you move into the bullet's old space. c. If the bullet would be pushed into an edge, hitbox, or into a space with a bullet of equal or lower value, the plow step fails, and you do not move.

Section 2: Facing A Student of Xiao-Style Xingyiquan Mk.7
A. Mastering Their Mind
Each heroine has a Si Yu marker. At the start of each Option Phase, put your Si Yu marker on your third green space. If there is a bullet there, swap with it instead.

B. Mastering Their Body
Once you have accepted others, you must accept their intent.
Si Yu is a bullet with no color or number. Si Yu cannot be removed from your sight by any means.

Fig 12 - Incorrectly accepting my intent to not back down. Note that I have been removed from your sight.
C. Mastering Their Forms
Within every piece of technology lies structure. If something can be done, it can be undone.
Si Yu has 4 patterns. You automatically fail her patterns.
Si Yu's patterns show a sequence of plow step directions. When you fail a pattern, her marker in your sight attempts to plow step ignoring value in the sequence shown. Any bullets cleared hit you. (See Section 3 for information on plow stepping ignoring value.)

D. Mastering Their Defenses
"Winning" is an abstract concept created to mitigate the pain of loss. As I derive no pleasure from your pain, and accept your existence and intent, I also accept the inevitability of your victory. Eventually.
Si Yu's shield effects cause her to plow step ignoring value in the directions indicated. See Section 3 for information on plow stepping ignoring value.
E. Section 2, Subsection E
If you have reached this subsection, your victory is at hand. Clear your mind of the multitude of life-altering activities you could have bettered yourself with, and focus on avoiding my final attack.
Perform the following plow step sequence (directions as drawn on the page, read from the rendered arrows: up, right, down, down, left, left, up, up):

Section 3: Troubleshooting
In accordance with the ████████████ ████████ Act, Xiao Technical is obligated to provide a list of commonly experienced problems and solutions in order to provide a better user experience.
| Part | Problem | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shield slots, Boss patterns, Fourth Action | I am unable to plow step ignoring value. | Perform your plow step as normal. If it would move a bullet of higher value into a bullet of equal or lower value, they both clear, instead of the movement being prevented. |
| Shield slots, Boss patterns | I am unable to tell if plow stepping into an edge stops movement. | Perform each movement possible. Moving into an edge does not necessarily stop the entire sequence of movements. |
| User | I am unable to find a part, or a part is damaged upon arrival beyond usability. | Missing or damaged parts may be replaced at our Service Department's discretion. Contact our Service Department at the following Quality Receptionist code: [QR code, not transcribed]. |
