It was around six in the evening when Rin, Obito's wife, returned home from the hospital with her parents. A cool breeze drifted through the doorway, but inside the house there was a quiet tension—as if the walls themselves were waiting for the questions and answers that were about to unfold.

As soon as the door opened, Obito saw Rin's parents standing there. His expression immediately turned serious. He quickly walked toward them and respectfully asked,

"How are you both feeling now?"

Then he looked at Rin and asked,

"Rin, what did the doctor say?"

Rin replied softly,

"The doctor said that a few more tests are needed. After that, we'll know everything clearly."

Obito remained silent for a moment. Then he looked at Rin's parents with a hint of guilt on his face and said,

"I'm sorry… I couldn't go to the hospital with you."

Rin's father smiled gently and replied,

"Son, there's no need to apologize. Rin already told us that you had something very important to take care of."

He continued,

"And besides, our checkup was at the same hospital where you arranged everything for us. You told us that the hospital belongs to your friend, Dr. Nasreen. Because of that, everything became very easy for us. We didn't face any difficulty at all."

Rin's mother spoke warmly as well,

"Son, you really don't need to apologize. You have sacrificed so much for us and for our daughter."

Hearing this, Obito quickly shook his head.

"Please don't say that… I would do anything for my family and for my wife."

After a few moments of silence, Obito asked a serious question.

"Did Rin tell you what Wang has done?"

Rin's father took a deep breath and replied,

"Yes, son… we know everything. In the end, he turned out just like his parents. The same mistake his parents made… he made it too."

Then he looked around the room and asked,

"By the way, where is he? It's dinner time. Isn't he going to eat?"

After a brief pause, he looked at Obito and asked,

"And… did you hit him?"

Obito immediately shook his head.

"No. I didn't even touch him."

Then his voice grew deeper.

"Instead… I told him the truth about myself. Who I am… and where I came from."

Rin was shocked when she heard that.

"What? You told him everything?"

Obito replied calmly,

"No… not everything."

Then he sat down and began telling Rin and her parents the same things he had already told Wang about his past. The room fell silent. With every word he spoke, it felt as if an old secret was slowly rising to the surface.

When he finished, Rin asked with concern,

"What about the rest of the truth?"

Obito answered seriously,

"When we go to Jim's house to talk about Wang and Hinata's marriage… that's when I'll tell the rest of the truth."

Rin thought for a moment, then looked at Obito and said softly,

"Maybe that's better… if he hears it directly from you."

Once again, silence filled the room.

But behind that silence, a truth was waiting—

A truth that would soon change all of their lives.
