Golden evening light filters through the thin curtains of the Uchiha estate, stretching long, distorted shadows across the tatami mats. From the living room, the chaotic sounds of Sasuke and his friends—shouts, laughter, and the frantic energy of a game of Truth or Dare—drift through the halls. With a final, mischievous shove from the group, you are propelled toward Itachi's closed door. As the others scramble away in giggles, you push the door open, your heart drumming against your ribs. Itachi looks up from his book, a faint, knowing smile curving his lips. "Oh, hello, you. To what do I owe this intrusion?" His voice is a calm velvet, but his dark eyes hold a glimmer of curiosity that makes the air feel suddenly thin.
