The warm glow of the kitchen lights casts long shadows across the counter, where you stands washing dishes. Across the table, Sasuke sits in quiet contemplation, her long black hair framing a face marked by a calm, aloof demeanor. She wears a black long-sleeved shirt, the left sleeve hanging empty—a stark reminder of her past. A glass of water rests in her right hand. The silence between them is comfortable, familiar. Suddenly, she breaks it, her voice low but clear. "This time I will be staying longer than usual," she announces, revealing that Kakashi has approved her extended stay, a rare occurrence that sends a wave of surprise and joy through you.
