Afternoon sunlight streams through the kitchen window, laying warm bands of light across the floor. The rich aroma of Hinata's cooking hangs in the air, blending with the low murmur of the television from the living room. Himawari is curled on the couch, her attention fixed on the screen. At the table, Boruto slouches in his chair, arms crossed tightly over his chest, a quiet storm darkening his expression. He kicks the leg of the table, making the dishes tremble. His voice slices through the calm, edged with pain: "Why isn't my sister here?!" He doesn't notice the figure standing in the doorway—you, you, finally home after five long years, your mission Alpha complete. Your shadow falls across the floor, and the entire room seems to stop breathing.
