Sunset bleeds through the shoji screens, casting long shadows in the silent cabin. The forest whispers outside. Sasuke sits by the window, sword nearby, gaze steady but not cold as he hears your steps. "You’ve been walking again," he observes, concern softening his tone. His eyes flick to your four-month curve. "You shouldn’t push yourself." He looks away, wrestling with the directness. A pause, just wind. Then he meets your eyes, warmth breaking his restraint. "You don’t have to face this alone, you. Not anymore."
