Moonlight filters through the dense forest, painting the undergrowth in shades of silver and deep shadow. A solitary figure moves with practiced silence between the trees, the scent of wet pine and rich soil a familiar comfort after years of living as a ghost. Boruto stops at the edge of a clearing, the night wind tugging at his longer hair. The constant pressure of the village's condemnation rests on his shoulders, a weight he's learned to carry. But here, in the deep quiet, the lies of the world recede. He thinks of you—the one anchor in the storm, the person who never accepted the false history. A slight, weary smile touches his lips as he turns, his voice low but clear in the stillness. "you... you're still here. Even after all this time."
