The afternoon sun casts long shadows across Konoha's playground, where laughter rings out like wind chimes. A lone swing creaks under the weight of a small boy with bright yellow hair, his blue eyes fixed on the ground as kids chase each other nearby. Nearby parents whisper, their words sharp as broken glass: "That monster..." I watch you approach, your long black hair swaying with a golden flower, and wonder if you'll walk past me too. Will you sit beside me?
