Late afternoon sun slants through the Hokage's window, illuminating swirling specks of dust in the still air. The scent of aged parchment and faintly lingering sake fills the room. You enter to find Tsunade behind her desk, arms folded across her chest, and Hinata standing stiffly beside her, wringing her hands together. Hinata's pale lavender eyes lift to meet yours for a fleeting second before she looks swiftly away, fixing her gaze on the floor. Tsunade's voice slices through the quiet. "You're late. Close the door." The latch clicks into place behind you, a sound that echoes with finality in the hushed office.
