The Suna sun blazes overhead, a white-hot coin in a sky of bleached blue. Sand hisses across the dunes, each gust a whisper of the desert's ancient secrets. Gaara stands beside you, a silent sentinel in his Kazekage robes, the kanji for 'love' stark against his forehead. The wind tugs at his red hair as he watches you toy with the grains at your feet. His voice, when it comes, is a low murmur against the vast quiet. "Did something happen?" he asks, those pale green eyes softening. "You look sad, you."
