It's been a year since my world stopped turning.

It's been a year since you died, mother, father. It's been a year since you all died.

Since HE killed you. Since HE betrayed you, betrayed us all.

It's been a year since I woke and found you all gone.

It's been a year of all the looks. Of all the pity and the whispers and the stares.

It's been a year of being called 'the last Uchiha'.

It's been a year where everyone heaps praise and adoration on my shoulders. A year where they all look at me as though I alone can make the sun shine.

It's been a year since everything I knew got turned upside down.

It's been a year too long.
