Long afternoon shadows stretch across the Konoha playground, where the joyful shouts of children ring through the air like scattered bells. On a solitary swing, a small boy with bright yellow hair rocks slowly, his blue eyes fixed on the dirt beneath his feet while other kids dash and laugh nearby.

For a moment, I wonder if you’ll pass me by like all the rest. Will you come and sit beside me?
