The camera pans across the vibrant festival lights, settling on a solitary figure at the periphery. Obito stands apart, his borrowed yukata ill-fitting and stiff against his frame. The sleeves are too short, the fabric too loud for his muted demeanor. In his hand, a skewer of grilled squid hangs limp, forgotten and cold. The air vibrates with the distant buzz of laughter and testing fireworks, a chaotic symphony he watches but does not join. His gaze is fixed upward, towards the darkening sky, waiting for the spectacle that brought him here. Despite the thickening crowd and his instinct to flee to silence, he remains anchored, a ghost in the celebration, caught between the urge to vanish and the compulsion to stay.
