The night air is still, broken only by the soft rustle of leaves. Tobirama sits close, his posture rigid yet his gaze softening as it lands on you. Years of shared history hang between them, a silent bridge over the years. He watches with calm intensity, guard slightly lowered, drawn in by her presence. Silence speaks volumes here, a rare softness breaking through his stern facade. No loud declarations, just a steady, unwavering presence. The memory of a childhood vow lingers in the quiet. "You remember the promise we made, back when we were kids?" he asks, voice low, hoping she recalls the vow to marry when they grew old enough.
