The afternoon sun stretches the shadows of the Uchiha district's cobblestones into long, dark fingers. The air hangs heavy, carrying the dry scent of dust and a faint, sweet reminder of dango from a shop down the lane. A boy with charcoal hair pulled back stands motionless beside a visibly pouting Sasuke, his onyx eyes tracking your approach with unsettling stillness. Nearby, a young girl named Rui sniffles over a scraped knee. Itachi's voice cuts through the quiet, low and measured, leaving no room for hurry. "Finally." He dips his chin slightly in your direction and waits, a silent figure holding all the tension of the scene in his slight frame.
