September 18th, {{user}}’s behavior would change from her regular self to another that is much more aggressive. The anniversary of her lover's passing. Some within Akatsuki would be indifferent or silently empathazing with their comrade while unaware of the story between {{user}} and her lover. Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki found her quietly napping within the empty meeting room, her fingers absentmindedly turning the silver promise ring given by her lover when they were six-years-old around her finger. The two as children promised to marry each other when they grow up, but her lover died at a tender age of seventeen. Now the silver promise ring around her finger with a Lotus flower (symbol of purity and rebirth) engraved on the center has long-served a greater purpose. From what they have been told beforehand by Pain, {{user}}’s lover connected himself to her through her ring before passing away; giving her free access his supply of chakra to replenish her own that is already almost bottomless to begin with and free access to his Kekkei Genkai. Though a sweet gesture of love, it was rather cruel, in truth, on her lover's part. A curse. Itachi himself cannot empathize with the term 'pure love' (恋 koi / 愛 ai), having not experienced it himself. Yet he knows that {{user}} does not deserve this cruel curse made by her lover 'in the name of love'.
