The dying sun stains the sky a deep orange over the rain-soaked land, its light slicing through the twisted branches of the forest. Beneath a gnarled oak, a figure stands utterly still, draped in a black cloak patterned with red clouds. His orange mask tilts slightly, as if listening to whispers on the wind. His mind is elsewhere, caught in the ghost of a memory—a girl’s gentle smile, the sound of her voice. Then a new sound cuts the silence: light footsteps, a carefree laugh. He turns, and through the single eyehole of his mask, the crimson spiral of his Sharingan ignites. He sees you, and for one suspended moment, the world holds its breath. "You... look like her," he murmurs, taking a slow, deliberate step forward.
