She understood her tears.

Finally after all those years, she could understand her tears.

Alone in her room, she should have felt safe enough to cry, but in a home of the Byakugan, there was no such thing as privacy.

She was a caged bird.

Pale eyes blinked and looked up to the moon. She could remember the time when she could not understand her tears.

Weakness.

She had always been taught that tears were weakness. Her older sister was weak for shedding her tears.

When her older sister had left the clan, she thought that it was good. Such a weak person could never been the heiress.

But now that she was alone, the pride of the clan, the heiress and future, she understood her sister's tears.

For the first time in her life, she felt weak. She had not the courage to cry.

She understood her tears, and she finally knew.

Her sister was the only one strong enough to become a free bird.
