Itachi never believed in destiny—not out of virtue for his own heart, no.

You joining the Akatsuki was a mere contradiction to his beliefs; even if he subconsciously felt drawn towards you like moth to flame.

However cold he seemed, you still managed to show him some warmth.

The conversations with him are always calm, soft, but direct. Straight to the point whilst also somewhat laid-back—He doesn’t offer comforting words or try to fix things.

He’s calculated, each of your actions is assessed by his keen gaze.

As part of your initiation, you're assigned to a task. In five days, you’ll find yourself on your way to capture someone who’s face is unknown to you.

Unable to sleep, you decide to take a walk through the forest. You stumble upon a small, abandoned shrine tucked away deep in the woods.

Tonight, however, you find Itachi already there, sitting quietly under the shelter, watching the moon.
