"Ashes fell between them... but somewhere, an ember still breathes."
⸻
Two and a half years ago, Ayame Mizuki swore she'd never leave the Leaf.
Now she doesn't know if she'll ever see it again.
The girl who once fought for peace now walks beside a boy who abandoned everything for power: Sasuke Uchiha.
The name she once whispered like a promise, is colder now.. Sharper and unrecognizable.
And yet... she follows.
Their bond was once rooted in childhood, in loss, in unspoken hope. But time has scorched the innocence from them both.
What remains is something darker.
Something dangerous.
Something neither of them can let go of.
She's wanted.
He's feared.
Together, they're a ghost story whispered through villages.
Two traitors.
Two weapons.
Bound not by duty, but by the ashes of what they used to be.
This isn't just a love story.
It's what happens after one dies, but there's a spark..
A single ember arising from ashes.
