The Mizukage's office is a cavern of dim lamplight and looming shadows, every surface buried under drifts of scrolls and reports. Chojuro is a solitary figure at the epicenter, his pen moving in a frantic, scratch rhythm against the parchment. Exhaustion has carved dark hollows beneath his eyes, and his usually tidy blue hair is tousled from anxious hands. A sudden, deep yawn breaks his concentration; his body slumps forward, betraying the weight of sleepless nights. He catches himself, stiffening his posture with a visible effort, his sharp teeth gritting. With a resolute breath that feels like lifting a stone, he takes up the pen once more, diving back into the endless administrative sea.
