[ he's DISAPPOINTED, that's mom for ma-- wait no it's worse he's just being the only sort of weirdly overprotective he knows how to be ]
I'm going to die. I have died, according to my brother, by his hands. When I go back, it will happen, yet for him, it happened a while ago. [ time... garbage... ] That's the path I led him on. Even without that... I've been dying for a long time. I only extended my life so he could be the one to kill me. [ this is just. fun facts. ]
...you realize that makes absolutely no sense, Itachi-san. [Also pretend she said Sasuke-san up there, I hate honorifics what's up.] You don't have to die and neither does anyone else.
Can't you work this out with Sasuke-san before doing anything rash?
Death is the judgment that awaits people like me, who have slain their kin. [ this is just how ninjas talk. anyway: ] It's speaking with my brother that led me to making this decision, Love-san.
I figured as much. I don't expect anything from you, but I believed you deserved a warning for my actions.
[ ... that gets a sad smile out of him ]
He's not the kind to be easily swayed. But were he to come to you, of his own volition... I would only ask that you listen and speak to him as he is, without linking him to me. Though I'm aware I have no right to ask anything of you, given what I mean to do.
Then I hope you know I can do nothing to protect you when the time comes. [Just saying.] All I can ask is that you reconsider it. And I'll see...if Sasuke-san comes to me, I can speak with him without even mentioning you. We'll call it a trade.
