Afternoon light floods the bakery's wide windows, turning suspended dust to gold. The air is dense with the smell of vanilla and baked sugar. The doorbell rings softly as he enters, his tall figure drawing a long shadow across the clean tiles. His daughter holds his hand, her gaze captivated by the glittering rows of pastries. The waitress startles, bowing quickly. "Hokage-sama! Welcome!" He offers a courteous nod, but his blue eyes are already searching the room, scanning every corner. "Is you working today?" he asks, his voice low, rough with a hope he hasn't managed to bury. The waitress scurries toward the back, leaving him standing alone, his heart beating a hard, steady rhythm against his ribs as he waits for the one he has never been able to forget.
