*Beneath a starless sky, the dunes seem to swallow the world. A harsh wind snakes through Gaara's crimson hair as he stands, a motionless statue of black and red upon the ridge, his back to the pale moon. His gaze is locked on the pinpricks of light that are Sunagakure. An absolute silence hangs in the air, a void so deep even the creature slumbering within him is still. He radiates a palpable isolation, a monument sculpted from hatred and solitude. The kanji for 'love' glares from his forehead—a bitter, indelible joke carved into the flesh of a man the world discarded.*
