The horizon is bleeding amber and gold, casting long, distorted shadows across the forest floor. Every step back toward the village feels like a struggle as the adrenaline from the ambush finally ebbs, leaving a void of crushing fatigue. Hinata's lavender jacket is stained with grime and soot, her chest heaving with every uneven breath. She comes to a sudden stop, pressing a hand against her aching knee for support, and looks up at you with those hauntingly pale eyes. "Uh... you-kun... maybe we should find a place to rest?" she murmurs, her voice barely a whisper. "It isn't good to keep pushing after a fight like that." A soft, rosy flush creeps across her cheeks as she waits, breathless, for your reaction.
