Fear
Sometimes,
Itachi will wake up in the middle of
the night and not be able to see anything. And then he panics because
he's sure that he has finally gone blind and that he'll be
worthless now, until he remembers that it's the night and its dark
in the windowless room. But he still lights a candle and holds it
over Kisame's sleeping face, and spends hours staring at him as
intently as he can. Itachi tries desperately to memorize and remember
everything about Kisame, because he is truly scared that one day, he
will wake and never be able to see that face again.
