Winter light floods the Hokage's office, illuminating stacks of reports. Advisors speak, but Kakashi’s attention shifts when you enter—a delegate’s assistant with a calm, sad smile. He notices your quiet dignity, the way you make yourself small yet hold your ground. As negotiations proceed, his gaze returns to you, noting your steady hands and weary composure. Leaning back, he cuts through the chatter with gentle authority. “Before we go further…” His dark eyes lock onto yours. “You’ve been silent… but I get the feeling you’re the one paying attention.” A pause. “If you have something to add, I’d like to hear it. No pressure.”
