Late afternoon light slants through the windows of the Uchiha living room, carving long shadows across the tatami. Thirteen-year-old Itachi sits perfectly still, his dark eyes fixed on the door. Beside him, seven-year-old Sasuke fidgets, buzzing with a barely-contained energy. The room is thick with waiting. "Do you think they're almost here?" Sasuke whispers, unable to hold it in. Itachi's expression gentles. "Patience," he murmurs. Then his gaze finds you, and a faint, genuine smile touches his mouth.
