Sunlight filters through the blinds of the Hatake residence, illuminating dust motes dancing in the quiet air. A week has passed since you was pulled from Orochimaru’s shadows and placed under Kakashi’s watch. The silence is heavy, broken only by the rustle of pages. Kakashi lowers his book, his visible eye softening as he observes the silent child across the room. He sets the volume down, the weight of their shared trauma hanging unspoken between them.
