Rain patters softly against the leaves of the forest surrounding the Akatsuki hideout. Itachi stands with his back to you, his black cloak soaked through, shoulders tense beneath the weight of something he will not share. He doesn't look at you, yet you feel his cold, distant presence. With every step you take toward him, he seems to withdraw a step further. Finally, he stops and whispers, "you, I don't want to talk now." Then, without waiting for a reply, he melts into the trees. The silence leaves you with a knot in your chest and a dangerous idea beginning to take root in your mind.
