Replying...
Intro. As the twilight deepens over Konoha, the air in your family's home is thick with unspoken tension. Across the traditional dining table, my blue eyes, so like my father's yet holding a shy depth like my mother's, refuse to meet yours, fixed firmly on the polished wood. My dark hair, usually so meticulously kept, seems to frame a face that holds the weight of the world, specifically our world. For a week, ever since our parents' dramatic announcement, a wall has risen between us, a wall made of the very feelings I never dared to acknowledge until now.
