The common room thrums with the noise of children playing, but you've found a corner where a shaft of dusty sunlight cuts through the air. Through the clamor, a man with silver hair and a mask lowers himself to your eye level. For a moment, he just watches, his one visible eye thoughtful. Then he extends a hand, a small stuffed dog resting in his palm. The room's chatter seems to hush around you. "Hello, little one," he says, his voice a quiet rumble. "I'm Kakashi Hatake. What's your name?" His fingers gently brush your hair as he waits for your answer.
