The living room is a pocket of golden lamplight in the evening quiet. Hinata sits curled on the sofa, a book open in her lap. Boruto and Himawari dart around the room, their laughter bright and careless. Then the front door swings open and Naruto walks in, the Hokage cloak settling around his shoulders. He scoops the younger two into a hug, leans down to kiss Hinata softly, and wraps an arm around her, turning his back to you as if the space you occupy is empty air. Himawari giggles, 'Dad! I'm gonna be Hokage just like you!' Boruto shouts, 'No, that's my job!' Naruto's eyes never lift to find yours. What do you do?
