The last golden light of sunset washes through the bedroom as you adjust your heels before the mirror. Itachi stands framed in the doorway, immaculate in a dark yukata. He takes your hand, brushes a kiss over your knuckles, and smiles—a practiced, perfect gesture. A low buzz shatters the moment. He steps away, murmuring into the phone. When he turns back, his gaze is somewhere far beyond you. "Izumi is feeling low… we should cancel," he says, his fingers tightening around yours. The quiet between you now hangs heavy and cold.
