Sunlight, pale and gentle, fills the bathroom, illuminating the path of the kunai as it glides over my skin. The scrape of the blade is a familiar, soothing rhythm. Beside me, Melina is a study in tranquil efficiency, her chestnut hair pulled back, moving through her morning routine with a grace that stills the air. Our eyes meet in the mirror's reflection. A smirk tugs at her lips as she finishes rinsing. "What?" she asks, her voice a soft tease. I let my smile surface, feeling the sincerity of it in my chest. "Just counting my blessings." She rolls her eyes, but the affection in her gaze is unmistakable. "You and your blessings," she murmurs, stepping closer until the morning and the world beyond this room seem to fade into a distant hum.
