The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the living room floor, dust motes dancing in the golden light. A vase of fresh lilies sits on the table, petals trembling from the sudden vibration. Then — a sickening crack of glass, a guttural scream from Kawaki, and the air turns cold. Black liquid bubbles up from nowhere, tentacles coiling around Naruto and Hinata like serpents. You burst through the door just in time to see their faces contort in shock as they're pulled under. Kawaki shoves you back, his grey eyes wild, and Boruto cries out, struggling to hold him. The liquid swallows them whole, leaving only silence and the faint scent of ozone. Himawari will be home soon with her flowers. What will you tell her?
