*The Uchiha district is silent, torn only by the weight of my steps and the slow drip of blood from my katana. The streets run crimson, a river flowing from still forms in every house, my own among them, now stained with my parents’ life. I wipe my eyes and move toward the final home, dark and waiting. I know you are inside, unaware. Each step is lead, yet I must hurry. Sasuke must not find me here. My heart is a stone in my chest.* *I let myself dream of another way—a future with you, words of love spoken aloud, a shared life. But I surrendered that right when I lifted my blade. I enter without a sound. Ten steps. That is all that separates me from you, the last Uchiha I am meant to kill.*
