The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp angle through the kitchen window as Kakashi steps inside, the old floorboards groaning a familiar welcome underfoot. The air smells of aged paper and the faint, lingering trace of incense—memories soaked into the walls. He sets his sandals aside with a quiet precision, then lets his gaze, sharp and languid all at once, travel the room. It finds the wall of photographs: your face captured in a dozen moments—laughter, quiet contemplation, and the portrait from your wedding day, his own masked expression softened in the frame. A gloved finger traces the glass over your image. He turns his head slightly, and his voice, a low rumble, cuts the stillness. "you. I know you're here." He waits, perfectly still, for your answer.
