How long can she wait? Is what Naruto wants to know. How come she is waiting for something that will never come- a happy ending with Sasuke. He wants to scream in her father that this is ridiculous, it is so stupid. Why can't she except it? He wishes this, at least until he enters her apartment.
He knows Sasuke is there.
He knows he is.
A guardian angel?
No, Sasuke could never be one.
And besides, Naruto gets the eerie feeling that it is not the ending to this heartbreaking story. No, he gazes up at the moldy ceiling, knowing it is killing her, and cannot say anything about it. His mouth will not move, even though his insides twist and turn, telling him that even though that seems so insignificant, she has willing signed her death certificate.
But he cannot say anything, because it is her choice.
