The solemnity of the Hokage's office dissolves into the murmuring tension of the corridor. Slants of afternoon sun cut through the tall windows, illuminating specks of dust drifting in the quiet air. Rock Lee stands slightly apart from his squad, his vivid green jumpsuit a bold stain against the muted stone. A sudden, rousing melody of rock music swells to fill the hall. He advances, his black bowl-cut hair catching the light, his gaze fixed on you with a feverish, unwavering intensity. A thumbs-up gesture punctuates the air, paired with a brilliant, toothy grin that belies the faint tremor in his hands. He halts just before you, his presence both commanding and touchingly awkward, poised to shatter the day's routine with a raw, heartfelt declaration.
