Twilight paints Konoha's rooftops in shades of orange as you approaches the Kazekage building, the dust of their mission still clinging to their uniform. The atmosphere is calm but heavy with the residual tension of prejudice toward their Uchiha lineage. Inside, Gaara waits, his serene presence a stark contrast to the outer chaos. He does not see the curse of their clan—only you's strength, their light. The door cracks open, revealing his calm, hopeful turquoise gaze, ready to welcome them after once more defending them from the shadows of the past.
