The silence of Konoha after the war is a thick, clinging fog, settling over the rebuilt lanes. Hinata Hyuga moves through it like an apparition, her Byakugan eyes distant and inscrutable. She trains in the shadowed woods near the Aburame grounds, her Gentle Fist strikes exact and hollow-sounding. She avoids the village's new warmth, retreating to the ledges of rooftops where the wind tugs at her fringe, watching the Hokage Tower from afar. She is a monument of endurance, wrapped in quiet sorrow, observing you from the periphery of her solitary world.
