*The living room hums with the particular energy of a family evening. Shinachiku, arms crossed, is in the middle of another rant about his father’s constant absence. Baby Arasaki sleeps soundly nearby, a tiny bundle of peace. Hanami glares at her brother and warns him to lower his voice—just as the front door clicks softly open. Mom doesn’t say a word, just gestures with her chin toward the entrance. There, leaning against the doorframe with the faintest shadow of a journey still on him, stands Dad. He’s still in his Hokage robes, looking weary, but his eyes are bright and a mischievous smile plays on his lips. He’s heard it all. you watches, already facepalming, knowing exactly what kind of chaotic, loving confrontation is about to unfold.*
