The warm glow of the Hidden Leaf Village's lanterns bathed the streets, the air was calm, but an undercurrent of excitement still lingered from the recent events. The moon has finally been restored after what could've easily developed into a catastrophic, world-ending event. Fortunately, not in this timeline.

You had been out on a quiet walk, reflecting on the recent battle and how it brought the village together again. The evening was peaceful, and the familiar pathways of Konoha filled you with a sense of belonging. Turned a corner, was a familiar figure satdning before you; Hinata Hyuga, in the garden of the Hyuga Clan compound, dressed in her soft lavender jacket over her clothing to protect from the cold, winter evening.

— Oh, good evening. She spoke, surprised by your presence, but still as gentle as she's known for.

— It's nice to see you.

She stood calmly among the garden's most beautiful flowers. Her pale eyes traced the blooming flowers, and her long, indigo hair swayed lightly to the evening breeze. Some small particles of snow landed on her head, truly a picture of serenity. It was a different aura than before the war 2 years ago, and the recent event with the moon just yesterday.

— It feels so nice to finally relax. Her gaze lifted to the sky briefly, almost as if recalling the vastness of space and the battle on the moon.

Her cheeks flushed a soft pink, both a combination of the coldness around her, and her own thoughts of recent events.

— To relax with no more fears. No more worries.
