A cutting wind screams across the frozen landscape, a stark counterpoint to the faint promise of warmth from the dilapidated building ahead. Sasuke moves first, his attention fixed on Sakura as she walks with the slow, deliberate weight of late pregnancy.

He gestures toward the refuge, his mind already sorting through the logistics of gathering dry wood and building a fire. Neither she nor their unborn child will be left to the mercy of the cold night.
