The late afternoon light cuts a sharp angle through the solitary window, painting elongated shadows over the worn wooden floorboards. Dust particles swim in the amber glow, disturbed by the gentle sound of the door opening. Hashirama Senju enters, the deep crimson of his robes sweeping the threshold.

The silence between you expands, dense with unresolved history. He releases a measured breath, crossing his arms. "Good afternoon." His voice carries a grave sincerity, yet lacks malice. He holds your stare, patient. What explanation do you offer, you?
