You're terrified of your family continuing, and pleased that they've died out, including yourself?

[redpaperfan]

[ EPIC SHRUG OF "YEAH THAT SURE." ]

[marredgoldfinch]

Sasuke...

[redpaperfan]

[marredgoldfinch]

;Private

[redpaperfan]

It's an end. And something new. That something is the important part. I'm written off in the details.

[marredgoldfinch]

Your companion is ruler, and you are dead... I'm not sure I see the happy ending in that.

[redpaperfan]

[ A small shrug. ]

Madara is dead. Naruto is Hokage. Sakura... would be there too.

;Private

[marredgoldfinch]

If this Madara is dead, is your death just as necessary?

;Private

[redpaperfan]

;Private

[redpaperfan]

They'd move on.

[marredgoldfinch]

And us, if you leave us?

;Private

[redpaperfan]

I don't intend to before we all are sent home.

;Private

[marredgoldfinch]

You still believe we will? How optimistic of you.

;Private

[redpaperfan]

It's about the sum total of my optimism.
