Eyesight

Baki scans the distant horizon wishing for the eyesight of Takamaru.

Temari's message has reached Suna - Gaara's alive!

But her written words aren't enough, he has to see for himself.

He runs to the front of the crowd outside the village walls and there in the distance he sees them, all three.

He wipes at the corner of one eye.

Damn sun.

Must be making his eyes water.

Foresight

He smiles.

The girls are surrounding Gaara and making quite a fuss over him.

Temari fusses and clucks herself about her little brother's health, trying vainly to shoo some away.

Kankuro is congratulatory, but Baki thinks he can detect a tinge of jealous green beneath that purple paint.

Gaara seems about as clueless as most other fifteen year old boys around the girls.

Things are finally back to normal.

Hindsight

Baki oversees installation of Chiyo's memorial stone himself.

Ebizo only thinks it was his idea.

Baki urged until the old man relented, overriding his sister's final wishes.

Baki takes private satisfaction knowing that her last request was disrespected.

He makes certain the inscription includes ALL her accomplishments, including the ones she'd hoped the sands of time would scrub away.

Revenge, after all, is a dish best served very cold.
