"I only became part of your team recently when I replaced Sasuke, so I don't know everything that's going on. I don't really understand people either. But even I can tell that Naruto really loves you. Naruto's been shouldering that promise for a long time...I think he means to shoulder it for the rest of his life.

Sasuke lost all hope of coming back when his group, Akatsuki, attacked our village. Your fellow Konoha shinobi would never accept him now. Sakura's not stupid, either. She understands the position he's put us all in. That's why she came out here, to tell you herself.”

鈥淚 was yesterday. I returned this morning.鈥�
鈥淵esterday?鈥� Saskia turned from staring at Tania to staring at her computer and the table. A half-empty mug of something sat next to a partly eaten sandwich and a mostly empty glass of water. 鈥淥h,鈥� she sat back in her chair. 鈥淚 do this sometimes. I get caught up in things.鈥�
Her gaze fell on the lines and boxes on the monitor鈥檚 screen. She sat forward, her surroundings disappearing from her awareness again. 鈥淭ania, I think I鈥檓 close to figuring it out.鈥�
Tania鈥檚 hand, still on Saskia鈥檚, squeezed gently. 鈥淕ood. But now you need to take a rest.鈥�
鈥淣o. I can finish this. I鈥檓 on a roll.鈥�

鈥淲ell, not all of them were for unfavorable reasons,鈥� she tried to rationalize. 鈥淪ome were associated with an unfavorable reason. It was a themed party. That was the theme. That was the only reason. Why else would I have brought them all to the house for a dinner?鈥�
