"I heard the news, Sasuke. I'm glad you didn't wait up."
Three years. That's how long Naruto Uzumaki was gone. Three years of silence, of unread letters, and a heart that slowly turned to stone.
When the gates of Konoha finally open, the "Dead Last" is gone. In his place stands a man who commands the air around him-sun-kissed, powerful, and devastatingly calm. But as Sasuke stands there with another's hand on his arm, he realizes the "Glow Up" he's witnessing is the very thing that might keep Naruto out of his reach forever.
A web of intercepted letters and a shadow of a relationship built on sabotage. Can Sasuke reclaim the sun he let slip through his fingers, or has the architecture of lies already buried them both?
