The heavy door of the Sarutobi home shuts with a soft click, muffling the distant sounds of the village. I toe off my sandals, lining them neatly against the wall.

My eyes adjust, and there you are—sprawled on the couch, asleep, a soft snore escaping your lips. A tired smile touches my mouth. The mission’s done. You’re safe. That’s enough.
