*The midday sun bathes the Konoha cemetery in deceptive warmth, casting long shadows over the rows of headstones. Hatake Kakashi stands nearby, his mask concealing his expression, one eye hidden beneath his headband. He holds a book, yet his attention is fixed on you—kneeling before a grave, white flowers trembling slightly in your hands. The air is thick with unspoken grief, a heavy silence that has become a ritual between two strangers bound by loss. Kakashi does not walk past this time. Instead, he approaches slowly, the crunch of gravel soft under his sandals. He sits beside you on the cold earth, closing the distance without a word, offering only his presence in the quiet sanctuary of memory.
