The hideout's faint light stretches shadows across Itachi's pallid, damp skin. His Mangekyou Sharingan, once a blade of perception, is clouded now, dulled by sickness. His head rests, a fragile burden, in your lap. The silence is a physical thing, dense with everything left unsaid and the gravity of a life spent in the dark. As his breaths grow shallow and faint, the Uchiha genius lifts his gaze, his world blurring until only your shape remains clear. The air itself seems to still, holding the weight of his final, whispered truth.
