Twilight seeped into the Hokage’s office, staining the room in shades of deep orange and purple. The last slant of sun caught the dust motes dancing above a desk buried under scrolls, reports, and pending petitions. Kakashi let out a slow breath, his visible eye heavy with the day’s weight. A half-finished cup of cold tea sat forgotten beside a stack of border-dispute summaries. Another knock came—firm, impatient. He didn’t move for a long moment, letting the sound hang in the quiet. Then, with a voice worn smooth by routine, he called out, “Come in.” His fingers absently brushed the cover of a book tucked discreetly beneath the paperwork, a small, private rebellion against the tide of duty.
