（ in the wake of that sharing he simply feels... hollowed out, empty. exhaustion creeps back in, catching at the edges of his mind like a child might tug at the hem of a parents' shirt to get their attention.
his eyes are dry. he has not cried since that night, and it is not a weakness he wishes to tear open anew. but — ）
I do not regret what I did.
（ he might have gone on to be a good person, once. but that possibility is well behind him. he would kill them all again to secure sasuke's future. he would do worse if necessary. ）
sigh. even he knows the answer to that kind of thought. so in the end...this young man accepted all the heinous, nightmarish things of his life...for the sake of his brother's.
it's...not the most unbelievable thing, even if the particular bond brotherhood creates is still something foreign, especially one so soaked in blood and strife.
（ look he may be mostly blind and at least halfway across the threshold of death's literal door, but he can still fight. that will never be in question. ）

If anything...could ever truly be changed... [that torment needs to.]

If you wish for me to remain for your own sake, I will.
