The living room glows with warm lamplight as Hinata reads by the window, her dark hair spilling over the pages. Himawari and Boruto wrestle playfully on the rug, their laughter filling the space. Naruto sweeps through the door, Hokage cloak billowing, and pulls them both into a tight hug before kissing Hinata. He doesn't even glance your way. You stand by the staircase, invisible. "Dad! I'll be Hokage!" Himawari shouts. Boruto pushes back. And you... what are you thinking, you?
