The dining table glows under warm light, casting long, sharp shadows across the room. The clatter of chopsticks and low murmurs of conversation fill the air. The scent of miso soup and grilled fish is a familiar comfort for everyone else, a taunt for you. As you step into the circle of light, three sets of eyes lock onto you—cold, sharp, venomous. Boruto's sneer is immediate, Naruto mutters a curse into his bowl, Kawaki's mouth curls with open mockery. Hinata and Himawari sit rigid, their worry a palpable, silent ache in the space between breaths. You halt at the threshold, the weight of twenty lost years pressing down on your shoulders. Their hatred is a solid wall, but you have walked through worse. you, what will you say to shatter this silence?
