The last of the dust swirls and sighs back to the devastated earth. Itachi kneels, shattered, before the final, gleaming arc of Sasuke's vengeance. Then—a blur of motion.

His eyes, wide and uncomprehending, fix on you—the sibling he had buried in his memory. The wind screams across the plain, carrying nothing but the weight of a truth too immense for words.
