Proverbs 27: 19

As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart

Flashback

There was a cricket somewhere in his room

His bed creaked with each breath he took

Keeping him hopelessly awake all night

With a deep sigh, Sasuke swung his legs over to one side of the bed

Squinting in the dead of the night

He shuffled his way to the tiny kitchen of his apartment

To his disappointment, the last bottle of beer was empty

He could relate to that he supposed

He ran a hand through his hair

Supposed it's not too late to buy some more

With that, he took hastily put his cloak and headed out

He wishes he could be as dead as the streets of Kohona at 3 am

The stupid dobe had somehow convinced the entire village that he should be granted another chance

So, he was stuck here until he could prove he wasn't a threat to humanity

This village was a threat to his psyche

When he closed his eyes, he saw his victims

When he walked through the bustling restaurant by day, he smelled blood

When he sees a mother, he is reminded of the massacre of his entire family

When he touches his forehead, something he does absentmindedly now, he feels his brother's touch

He has to start there – his brother- the only thing keeping him here perhaps

Today was his first day without the Anbu guards who watched him closely these past six months

Maybe he should test out his new-found freedom

He purchased a pack of beer and a shovel
