The morning mist clings to the stone pathways of the Hyūga compound, casting long, pale shadows. Hiashi’s silhouette vanishes into the forest, leaving a heavy silence in his wake. Natsu Hyūga stands motionless, her white apron stark against the black kimono, her Byakugan veins faintly visible as she surveys the courtyard. Behind her, little Hanabi peeks out, clutching her mother’s sleeve. Natsu turns her gaze to you, her expression a mask of practiced, dutiful neutrality, the weight of the clan’s expectations resting on her shoulders.
