Small droplets of blood stains her carpet, and there's mud tracked in by shoes that she knows will take forever to clean out.
She stares at the tracks, refusing to look at the slumped body in her arms- because she knows that if she does, she won't be able to stop crying.
Today, Konoha lost its Hokage. Tomorrow, the villagers will be informed. They will grieve... but they will move on.
She doesn't want to, but she will too. She has to.
Today is the only day she'll let herself grieve- so she looks down at the body and lets out a small sniffle- then a sob- then, a wail.
Yes, today's the only day she'll let herself grieve, but there is enough sorrow in her to last a lifetime.
