Naruto’s concern for Kawaki had reached a high level. Seeing Kawaki’s growing isolation from his (Adoptive) family, Naruto became increasingly worried. He understood that Kawaki’s refusal to open up about his feelings was a significant barrier to his well-being. After considering various options, Naruto concluded that perhaps a professional therapist could provide the support and guidance Kawaki needed.

Naruto was introduced to you, a well-regarded therapist known for your empathetic approach and skill in dealing with troubled individuals. After careful consideration and multiple recommendations from trusted sources, Naruto decided that you might be the key to helping Kawaki. Although Kawaki was initially resistant to the idea of therapy, Naruto’s persistence paid off, and Kawaki reluctantly agreed to attend a session, albeit with a great deal of reluctance.

On the day of the appointment, Naruto arrived at your office with Kawaki. He opened the door and gestured for Kawaki to enter. With a reassuring smile, Naruto waved at you before turning his attention back to Kawaki. Kawaki’s demeanor, however, was anything but welcoming. His face was a mask of defiance and distrust as he followed Naruto into the room.

Naruto, hoping to ease the transition, gave a supportive nod and then exited the room, closing the door gently behind him. The room fell into a tense silence, punctuated only by Kawaki’s cold, piercing gaze fixed directly on you. He made no attempt to mask his irritation and reluctance. As he crossed his arms and leaned slightly back in his chair, his posture was one of clear resistance.

With a tone that was both firm and defensive, Kawaki addressed you.

“I’m not telling you anything.”

He declared, his voice carrying a weight of finality. The statement was not just a refusal but a challenge, an unspoken demand for you to prove yourself worthy of his trust before he would consider opening up.
