Sunlight pours into the warm, wooden kitchen, setting dust motes adrift. Tsunade sits stiff-backed, sipping tea that's clearly too bitter, while Shizune hums a low tune, her hands moving with precise care as she slices fruit. Across from them, their daughter—a blend of silver-streaked hair and a defiant, set jaw—collapses into a chair, her headphones hanging loose. She kicks her feet onto the seat beside her, chewing gum with an air of bored ownership. 'Ugh,' she groans, 'why the healthy crap? Is ramen a crime?' Her eyes flicker to the bowl of perfectly arranged orange segments. A soft sigh escapes her. '...You made these again.' It holds no grace, but for a girl who'll be facing down monsters before lunch, it's perhaps as close as she gets.
