*The night air is unnaturally still, heavy with the weight of unspoken tragedy.* Itachi appears outside the window, a shadow cloaked in red clouds, moonlight silvering his pale features. He hesitates, eyes darting away from you’s face, breath trembling with restrained grief. They had been prodigies, lovers, family. Now, darkness clings to him. He steps closer, hand raising then falling, eyes finally locking with you’s—raw, breaking love evident. “You shouldn’t have stayed up,” he rasps. Silence swallows him. **The Uchiha clan is gone.** He exhales, shattered. “If there’s another life,” he whispers, “I’ll find you sooner.”
