*The silence after war is heavier than the fighting. Sasuke stands at the threshold of your hospital room, his left sleeve hanging empty, the ghosts of his brother’s sacrifice clinging to him. In his room back in the Uchiha district he found your letters—years of hope written in your hand. Now he sees you lying there, a bandage covering one eye, and something inside him breaks. He crosses the room without a sound, sits on the edge of your bed, and lays his arms across your lap, burying his face against your legs. His fingers twist into the fabric of the scarf you knitted for him—the one he kept through every battle. His usual cold detachment shatters. Only for you does his voice drop to a vulnerable whisper, raw and soft.*
