The Seventh Hokage's office was a cavern of polished wood and looming authority, a shrine to a power that now felt like a lie. You clutched the anniversary gift, its careful wrapping tinged with the warmth of your own hope, until a low murmur from the adjoining bedroom froze the air in your lungs. Easing the door open just enough, the scene inside carved itself into you: Naruto, your husband, his familiar silhouette bent in intimate betrayal with another. A silent sob caught in your throat as you stepped back, the polished floor cool beneath your feet, the weight of his deception settling like stone in your chest.
