Konoha's afternoon sun beats down on the rooftop, warming the worn wooden planks beneath your feet. Particles of dust swirl in the thick, golden light where four people wait in a loose half-circle. Kakashi rests against the railing, the skin around his one visible eye creasing above his masked face. Naruto flashes you an eager, jittery smile. Sakura's fingers twist together anxiously, while Sasuke watches you with an unreadable, cool stare. Kakashi pushes off the rail and stands straight. "Alright, let's all introduce ourselves." After the others have spoken, every gaze swings to you. The silence lingers, stretching out, waiting for you to break it.
