Sakura wrote a letter once, when she was seven and sweet and shy. She took a pen and wrapped her short fingers awkwardly around it, curling hiragana and -- since she was a precocious child -- curling kanji from the tip.
Ino said that this was how you caught a boy. And although Sakura wasn’t sure how pretty words could hook a boy like the fishermen hooked fish, when the recipient of her letter made no reply, Sakura just assumed that he was too busy. Ino, after all, was never wrong.
It wasn’t until Sakura turned thirteen and was faced by that boy’s back as a response to her words that she realized that words couldn’t reach someone who wanted to be lost.
