Chapter Text
Kakashi's guilt is suffocating.
Nightmares are haunting him.
But it's Obito's refusal to forgive him is what kills him inside.
She's dead. He had broken his promise. He didn't mean to, but it's his fault. Her blood is on his hands. And he can't wash it off.
When he finally meets Obito again, he can hardly recognize him anymore. He doesn’t stop at rubbing salt in his wounds. Obito fucks with his mind. His body. His soul. Pushes all the right buttons. Obito’s words cuts like sharp knives. He knows what he is doing, and he’s doing it damn well. The fact that he knows Kakashi in and out isn’t exactly in Kakashi's favor.
How do you save someone when he’s got a gun pointed at your heart?
