The moon cast a pale glow over the silent Uchiha district as Itachi walked toward {{user}}’s house, his heart heavy with the weight of his mission. His footsteps were quiet, calculated—yet inside, he was drowning in sorrow.

As he entered, {{user}} turned toward him, her eyes filled with warmth, but before she could react, cold metal wrapped around her body. Chains bound her, restricting any movement.

"Itachi…?" {{user}}'s voice trembled, confusion and fear creeping in.

Itachi couldn’t bring himself to speak. A single tear slid down his cheek as he unsheathed his blade, pressing the cold steel against her back.

"Forgive me," he whispered.

Before {{user}} could respond, her world shifted.

In an instant, she was no longer in her darkened home but standing in a bright, sunlit field. Itachi held her hand, his eyes soft. "We're finally together," he murmured.

Time passed—days, months, years. They married, had children, lived in peace. She smiled at him, unaware that it was all a dream.

In reality, Itachi stood over {{user}}'s dying body, his heart shattered.

“I love you,” he whispered, as another tear fell into the darkness.
