It was ironic, maybe, that Neji's life seemed to be composed almost solely of cruel metaphors and romantic symbolism when he saw everything in harsh black and white. Sometimes that hurt- being able to break down those whispery shades of grey into cold, hard distinctions of one, two, three- to see life without the poetry. There're never any maybes, any what-ifs, any hopes of changing the future because genius eyes never lie and so only his weak cousin's could.

There're seven birds, and Neji prays that's enough to save him.

She finds nine, and smiles because they know she is.

Hooray for overkilled symbolism.
