bonus detail: post-war setting
All in the name of being holy.
ㅤAnd a childhood of buying stars together, only for it to amount to this; stars dead in overwhelming explosions that consumed it all and left in the wake only a black hole to swallow the remnants of what was once joyful, peaceful, innocent. Who to blame for it, between the whims of gods and the poor choices of mortals?
ㅤWords spoken in a quiet voice, both due to his weakened state [so recently risen from a coma lasting over a month] and to... would he call it shame? Perhaps regret was a better descriptor. Regret that he'd once been unable to stop it, that a club of gentle, young detectives had two turning to rogue criminal and murderer, another dead and rotting at the bottom of the Naka, and the last one abandoned after promises of eternal friendship and unbreakable bond. Regret that he'd had to force her to see him at his ugliest, the same way he himself was forced to become that same grotesque being. In the absence of a lost heaven, they now only knew their hell.
And where to go from here?
ㅤWhy was she event talking to him, keeping company? Whether or not Sasuke had shared with Chitose the truth about the circumstances that led to that grievous night remained to be known - one way or the other, the consequences were unerasable. No more using father's desk for the club meetings, no more eating mother's cookies together. No more.
Where to go from here, indeed?
ㅤItachi, who'd ever planned for the smallest of details and for every possible myriad options, for once finding himself at a loss; never having planned for the possibility of surviving his own death. Bittersweet irony, and very humbling. With his [now mostly useless] eyes focused on a random spot of the ceiling, he fidgeted absently with his fingers and with the hem of the bed cover alike; careful to not dislodge the IV tube nor the electrode connected to the vital signs monitor.
«...Never would I have thought that, one day,
I'd feel awkward talking to you.»
