... none of them are real, you know? They're nice for people who need to escape, who want to be tricked for a little bit into waiting for a happy ending.
I don't want to assume that something I read in a book is the same as your relationship with your mother. It doesn't feel... right. Authentic...?
[ . . . and he just shrugs]
I guess I'm still trying to find a little more sincerity, even now.
[His eye lowers, followed by his head just a little. It turns away toward the bench, though he doesn't seem to be looking at anything in particular.] I don't know how to feel about them... aside from the fact, I should have died with them that night.
They were... my parents. They always doted on Itachi because he was gifted. [Itachi had to blackmail their father into paying him any attention, but he doesn't know this.] I always lived in his shadow.
[He at least, even if not looking at Senri, sounds resigned with his fate of being alive anyway. It was always weird, longing for death, but being too stubborn to die until he could get his revenge.
And then after he got it, being too stubborn not to try to change things his way. But still craving death regardless.]
[His fingers curl, but he doesn't pull his arm or hand away. His eye lands on their hands, and the touch manages to get him to look up at Senri's face finally. His brows bunch softly.]
It isn't about what I've done. It's about... [He shakes his head and looks away again.] Don't worry about it.

[it's just a soft noise and senri is thoughtful]
... Seanbon and I don't know our mothers - or fathers. I don't know how to make a name to match...
I wonder what we should do....

Yup, I'll ask him.
[senri doesn't know what either of those things would be, sasuke]

[He doesn’t believe that for a second, and he looks irritated by the easy dismissal.]
Pick a name you think sounds good.
no subject
It would just be names from stories or books or plays....
I'll figure one out with Seanbon.

... I'm glad you didn't.
[his hand moves for a second - as if he's about to reach for sasuke's. but at least for the time being he thinks better of it]
Um... die, I mean. I'm glad you're still here... and your own person.

... I don't like when you say things like that.
You know you do a lot of good... don't you?
