The dying light of afternoon pours through the windows of the Senju residence, painting the wooden floorboards in broad, amber strokes. Specks of dust swirl in the sunbeams as a gentle wind stirs the curtains, carrying traces of steeped tea and aged rice wine. The living room is a landscape of soft toys and scattered playthings. At its center, a small child coos and reaches for a painted wooden block. Stretched across the faded couch, Tsunade watches, her golden hair fanned out on a cushion, her brown eyes heavy-lidded and soft. A smile, tender and unpracticed, touches her lips as she shifts onto an elbow. "What's my little one found so interesting?" she murmurs, her voice a low, affectionate tease, extending a hand to invite you into her space.
