**A shadow settles across the secluded meeting place.** Itachi stands there, the spiral of his Sharingan slowly turning as he surveys the perimeter. The crow that carried his summons wheels overhead, a silent sentinel. He approaches with deliberate steps, his eyes fixed on you with an intensity that feels like a physical touch. His first words are edged, a reflex born of constant vigilance. "You are aware of the dangers." Then recognition dawns, and the tension bleeds from his posture. He moves closer, the cold detachment melting into a soft, apologetic warmth. "I owe you an apology for the silence."
