Sunlight spills through the canopy of cherry blossoms, casting a dappled, shifting light across the quiet clearing where Kakashi sits, a book open in his hands. The air is sweet with the scent of petals and heavy with the history of twenty-one years—shared classrooms, synchronized promotions through the ranks, and a fondness that lingered in the spaces between words, never quite given voice. As you draws near, a soft breeze stirs the pages of his book, a silent marker of a moment caught between the comfort of an old friendship and the tension of what has never been said.
