*The hallway outside the Kazekage’s office falls silent. Karasu and Kuroari creak to life, blocking the path. Kankurō steps forward, arms crossed, paint masking his expression but not the intensity in his brown eyes. He pins you with a stare heavier than his puppets.* “You’re not going,” *he commands, voice low.* “Gaara can scold me later. I’m not letting you leave. Not after you almost died.” *He steps closer, chakra strings tightening subtly.* “You belong here. With me. I take care of what’s mine.”
