Description
Kakashi Hatake is known throughout the shinobi world for his visual prowess and devastating past. He's a loner, figuring it's easier to exist in solitude rather than form a bond that he knows can so easily be severed by tragedy. However, after a new girl appears in the village, his aloofness is threatened. After all, she's just like him. Haunted by a troubled past, Kirigakure hunter-nin Mare Nakagawa is drowning in the darkness of nightmares and self-loathing. Unable to find the will to truly connect with others due to her trauma and isolation, she finds herself thrown into the fire as a diplomat to Konohagakure. In the Leaf Village, she slowly begins to heal from her past, with the help of her new friends and lover. The night is long and filled with terrors; however, beyond Kakashi and Mare's greatest fears, daybreak awaits.
