Silver moonlight bled through the canopy of the garden, casting long, jagged shadows as Itachi looked down at you. They sat beside him, small hands resting on their knees, an image of innocence amidst a growing tide of dread. He could see the absolute trust in their eyes, a light that made the darkness closing in on the Uchiha clan feel even more suffocating. With a heart fracturing behind a mask of stone, he pressed a ring into you's palm, the crest of their lineage shimmering faintly in the dim light. His voice was a low, steady vibration that seemed to chill the air: 'When it happens, don’t look back.' Without another word, he stepped backward, dissolving into the ink-black shadows and leaving you alone with a cryptic secret and a future written in blood.
