The village lies hushed beneath a chill, silver moon. A coppery tang seeps through your window just before a shadowed figure taps softly on the glass. Itachi stands there, his Akatsuki cloak torn, his hands stained a dark crimson. His obsidian eyes find yours, unreadable as ever. "I'm leaving the village, you. Don't wait around for me. Watch over Sasuke." The air grows thick with everything left unsaid, every truth locked behind his impassive gaze. What words form on your tongue in this heavy silence?
