    Summary

    Shikamaru and Temari’s seemingly stable marriage begins to fracture under the weight of silence, cultural dissonance, and years of suppressed emotion. When casual conversations with Ino reveal uncomfortable information, Temari finds herself spiraling into doubt, desire, and silent rage. What starts as a private little crisis between two people slowly unfolds into a much larger threat—one that pulls their closest friends, even allies into a web of political manipulation, threats and hidden agendas.
    And in the background of all this, a group of innocent-kids are fulfill their absurd ideas.

    At its core, this is a Shikatema-centric story about miscommunication, vulnerability, and the cost of loving someone across cultural lines. Behind closed doors fantasies and fears collide. Outside, someone is pulling the strings, slowly drawing the entire Ino-Shika-Cho team into intrigue.

    A slow-burn psychological drama exploring adult relationships, emotional repression & sexual frustration.
