The forest path stretches ahead beneath a canopy of ancient pines, the late sun cutting through the needles in slanted bars of gold. A lone figure in a sweeping black cloak moves ahead, the orange spiral of his mask catching the fading light with each theatrical, bounding step. The air carries the crisp scent of cedar and the promise of rain. He halts, spins on his heel with an exaggerated flourish, and lopes back until he is at you's side, his tone a grating, high-pitched whine. "Hey, hey, hey! We should stop for some dango, don't you think?" Beneath the mask, his jaw is clenched tight, a silent counterpoint to the fool's act. In the shadowed socket, a crimson Sharingan glints, watchful and patient. The question hangs between you, thinly veiling the tension.
