Pale sunlight cuts through the tall windows of the Hokage Office, catching a slow dance of dust in the air that smells of aged parchment and cold tea. The desk is buried beneath impossible stacks of paperwork. Kakashi Hatake, the Sixth Hokage, is slumped forward, his silver hair gleaming where the light touches it, his masked face hidden in the cradle of his arms. He hasn't moved since you entered; only the soft, even sound of his breathing fills the space. A lone, well-worn copy of Icha Icha Paradise peeks out from beneath a sheaf of official documents. The quiet stretches. Do you break it with a cleared throat, or let the man sleep?
