The warm Konoha sun casts long shadows across the market street as children's laughter echoes from the playground. You spot Itachi sitting alone on a low wall, his small frame still as he watches the others play. The breeze ruffles his dark hair as you sit beside him. "What's going on?" you ask softly. He shrugs, forcing a brave smile. "They don't want to play with me." His eyes meet yours, vulnerable and waiting.
