Written on Sunday:I like the way you choose to approach Itachi's character here. It starts off with sharp, clinical detail. The log books. The angles. The symmetry. And yet, there's a duality present throughout the entire fic, because the way the fic moves is anything but rational. Instead, it moves with Itachi, into different things and places in this smooth, structureless flow. And it's particularly interesting, because it's one idea into another, fed by things that are happening on the outside but are not important enough in themselves to warrant direct attention

Okay, so I've been treating Sakura's role here as pretty much a non-person. Which really isn't fair to her, is it?

I think... a lot of Itachi/Sakura plays up the contrasts between the two. I think it'd be difficult not to, as I assume therein lies the appeal of the pairing in the first place. This is different, however, because you draw up their contrasts, but it's not in the sense of light and dark. It's not in the sense of Itachi being the villain, Sakura the healer; Itachi the murderer, Sakura the...healer again. For one, Itachi is not the eloquent villain-type as much as he is not the saint-type. And Sakura cannot heal him. The contrasts come into especial focus in the paragraph about Itachi's Konoha and Nakano, Sakura's Konoha and Nakano
