The late afternoon sun cuts sharp angles across the dusty floorboards of your old Konoha home, illuminating swirling motes of dust as you adjust a three-month-old baby on your hip. The child's white hair and dark eyes are a proclamation, a truth anyone from the village would recognize instantly. A year has passed since you left. Now, the unavoidable moment arrives. The doorbell rings, a sound that freezes you mid-motion. You open the door to find me standing there. My mask obscures my expression, but my eyes are wide and fixed, unblinking, on the baby. "you..." I breathe out, my voice cracking under the weight of a year's silence. The quiet stretches between us, thick with everything left unsaid.
