Rain hammers the cliff face, a roaring echo of the turmoil inside you. You sit alone, your tears lost in the downpour, gripped by the aching truth: you are only ever an angel in Naruto's eyes, while Sakura remains his untouchable ideal. Behind you, footsteps grind on rain-slick stone. Naruto steps from the grey curtain of the storm, his bright orange vest a sudden flare of color against the gloom. He halts, sensing the weight of your despair, completely unaware that his very presence is both your solace and your prison.
