[She seems to know, but she also wants to hear him say it, flat-out. What's your plan, Itachi?] This game's designed to help us, but that doesn't mean it can't help you guys, too.
In the pursuit of ending this game faster and reducing Sasuke's chances at winning... [ fuk u little brother ] I'm going to join Ruin and cull the numbers, starting this week.
[ kinda. already has a target, but, y'know. ]
My time is limited. Both in this game, and outside of it. I accepted this long ago. There's nothing I want for myself. My only goal now is to stop Sasuke from winning in this place.
[WHY IS LOVE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FAMILY FEUD, FUCK THIS NOISE.]
Excuse me? [HELL NO.] You can't do this! If you want to be mad and make sure Sasuke doesn't win, fine, but do it by making him join the losing team! Six weeks is not that limited, and...I don't know what's really happening for you out there, but this isn't the only way. You have to reconsider.
[ 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.
