J is for Justify (because we all have our reasons.)
Sasuke (fear):
I didn't know how to protect you, so I severed our ties before you could abandon me (...before it happened again.)
Sakura (herself):
Our friendship was precious to me, but I couldn't (wouldn't) let myself depend on you forever. I wanted to stand on my own two feet.
Kakashi (ideals):
I was too blinded by my own grief to see you as my equal (as a friend), and now that my eyes are open, all that remains is a name on a stone.
Sai (apathy):
You were my best friend and my brother, and I know that you would have approved. I finished our book the way it was meant to be - the two of us together, smiling.
Yamato (the past):
I was an orphan and a specimen, but now I am a mentor and a friend. Your experiment was a success, but you will never reap the benefits.
Naruto (loneliness):
You loved me, and you died for me. I have always been on my own, but now I know that I was never alone. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Notes: Thanks for all of the reviews, favs, and follows! :D
