Summary
“Is it worth what happened today?”
Hashirama doesn’t answer him. Instead, he rolls over, barely stifling a yawn. He’s wearing the spare nightshirt Madara left out for him, navy blue against his tan skin.
“These feelings,” he says. “They’ll be gone in the morning.”
Hashirama grieves. Madara waits. It's not perfect but it might just be enough.

Summary
Hashirama is loath to notice that the child has Madara’s eyes; soft dark spirals that seem to swallow a person whole. Like tiny galaxies, black holes.
“It’s just a temporary solution,” the nurse says as she watches Madara's eyes wander. “We’re overwhelmed this month– if someone could just take him for a week, that’s all we need.”
Hashirama bites his lip. Neither of them speak. The nurse looks between them pleadingly.
Hashirama has seven days to fall in love with baby Obito.
