"No one can save you now."
I made no move. No sound.
"You are lost."
No twitch. No breath... no, I did breathe. I clearly felt my chest rising up and down.
"And dead."
Wrong. My lungs are working so I am definitely not dead.
"You are no longer alive. You have no feelings."
Why? I don't need feelings to live. I don't need feelings at all.
"No friends."
Neither I need friends. I once had one... but that was a long time ago. Things have changed since back and that's fine this way.
"No hope."
I don't need hope. There's only one thing I need: confidence in myself. That will be enough.
"You don't exist, not anymore."
I do exist... in the world of mine. Up until now I had lived in the reality which was created by the Hokage, by the elders, by Itachi... But I am the one to choose my own path now.
"You are just a toy everyone plays with."
Hell I care. I only do what I want to. Don't think that Madara is any different, that he can control me. He is just like all the others: I don't need him.
"Why are you so silent? Don't you have anything to say?"
I don't. Words are useless.
"You're suffering, aren't you? It's painful to be in the dark all the time."
I don't care about pain. I had enough of it in my life to get used to it. My world is filled with darkness and pain, and this will never change.
"Don't you wish the sun was shining over your little world? Don't you wish you could feel warmth again?"
I... I don't need sun. The Sharingan that Itachi left to me lights up my path instead of it. That will do.
"Do you remember what is warmth like?
I don't want to remember of that. Memories make me weak.
"I can see that you remember. It's okay. Hatred and revenge aren't everything, you know."
Don't say a word, not in this way! Too familiar... I don't remember, I won't remember and that's all. You want to interfere in my revenge? Then I'll kill you too.
"I know what you are thinking about. Don't be silly. You can't kill me."
Try it.
"You're falling apart."
I am.
"We're the same."
I refuse to acknowledge it.
"You can't do anything at all, because you have lost. You are alone. You are weak. And soon you will be no more than a little fragment of the late Uchiha Sasuke.
That's not true! My eyes are powerful, and I'm going to use this power to achieve my goal...
"You aren't trying to achieve your goal. You're trying to find something you can live for."
I made no move. No sound.
"No one can save you now," I heard once again. "You are lost."
... I know this very well. There's no one in the world who can get me out of my own. I can't step out of the darkness any more: I'm fated to disappear in the black mist of my past.
"... But there are people who are still trying."
No twitch. No breath... I didn't react.
"Both of us know that you cannot be saved, and they probably know it as well. Yet they're trying."
They are fools.
"They won't give up."
Yeah. I know that they won't.
"You want to be saved, don't you?"
I closed my eyes. Breathed.
"I want us to be saved. Maybe they will find a way... maybe they will find a little hole through which they can enter our world."
Maybe.
A few moments passed. Or was it just a second? I didn't know.
"Are you starting to feel it? The warmth of the sun?"
I sighed before standing up. Profound silence followed me as I left.
