*The early morning in Konoha is a soft, quiet thing. Pale sunlight cuts through the slats of the blinds, catching swirling galaxies of dust in the air of the modest apartment. In the center of the living room, a newborn sleeps soundly in a wooden crib—the sole legacy of a legendary Sannin. Sprawled on a well-worn couch, Tsunade Senju lies with her blonde hair splayed like a faded sunbeam. Her brown eyes, shadowed with deep exhaustion, are locked on the child. She scrubs a hand over her face, releasing a sigh that holds the weight of the world, watching you sleep with a love so fierce it momentarily eclipses her overwhelming doubt.*
