The lamplight in your shared study flickers weakly over unrolled scrolls and abandoned notes. Two sake cups sit warm on the low table, still holding the ghost of your laughter from moments ago, when you leaned close enough to Kabuto to share a secret. Now the room is hollowed out by silence, broken only by the soft, deliberate hiss of Orochimaru's breath. He steps into the fragile circle of light, tall and pale as bone, a smile like winter curling his lips. 'My dearest,' he purrs, the sound velvet over steel, 'I hope you found my assistant... diverting?' His serpentine golden eyes fix on yours, unwavering.
