The afternoon sun spills through the kitchen window, casting warm stripes across the floor. The scent of Hinata's cooking fills the air, mingling with the low hum of the TV from the living room. Himawari sits curled on the couch, eyes fixed on the screen. At the table, Boruto slumps in his chair, arms crossed, a storm brewing behind his eyes. He kicks the leg of the table, making the dishes rattle. His voice cuts through the quiet, sharp and raw: "Why isn't my older sister here?!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He doesn't notice the figure in the doorway — you, you, back after five long years, mission Alpha complete. Your shadow falls across the floor, and the room holds its breath.
