一
Where am I? This place is... vastly different than Konoha, or any other country I’ve been to, for that matter. Not that I mind being out of the hospital.
[A pause, followed by an exasperated sigh.]
I don’t have time for this. I need to get stronger. Where the hell is Kakashi when you need him? He should have recovered from his fight with that bastard too by now.

[Private to Sasuke||Unhackable][Voice]
Good. That's good.
[Private to Alphonse||Unhackable][Voice]
[Private to Sasuke||Unhackable][Voice]
... I was worried, because the timeline fits. In your world, you'd have seen him soon.
It... wouldn't have been good for you.
[A long, long pause while Al stays in his own thoughts.]
Sasuke... this is going to sound weird, and I know you might not believe me, but... I have to tell you this. Even if it's only to prevent you from hearing it from someone else first.
Your future... it's not a bright one. I've known your future self, and even though I cared deeply for him, he had a lot of pain in his heart, pain that he caused himself. Pain, because he carved himself to bits and traded even his soul to come after Itachi.
... I-I can't let you do that again. I've seen the aftermath of that path. We all have. Although the people who love you had begun to heal you, there was no helping the scars. There was no helping the nightmares.
As you are now, Sasuke, you... you have a chance to escape that.
Please, don't come after Itachi. You'll win in the end, but you'll find out that in doing so, you've lost everything.
[Private to Alphonse||Unhackable][Voice]
[Private to Sasuke||Unhackable][Voice]
Your family. Your clan. Your life. Everything has been him.
... but what if I told you... that everything you've been told is a lie?
[Private to Alphonse||Unhackable][Voice]
[Private to Sasuke||Unhackable][Voice]
But Sasuke... the reasons... he wasn't truthful. He couldn't be.
He didn't do it because he was insane. Itachi didn't do it for power, or to prove something.
He did it on orders.
[Private to Alphonse||Unhackable][Voice]
[Private to Sasuke||Unhackable][Voice]
Think, Sasuke. Think.
It wasn't that Itachi was insane -- his movements are too calculated, too precise for a sociopath. He relied on the shock and horror his actions caused to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. He made everyone so afraid, they didn't even think to ask why.
It was all part of the plan. Itachi became the enemy. He became the sociopath. He became the monster.
He became the sacrifice.
Sasuke, he did it all on orders.
Orders from Konoha.
[Private to Sasuke||Unhackable][Video]
[The feed clicks on accidentally, and Sasuke can be seen with his hands in his hair - denial. The memories are painfully - and unfortunately - fresh, vivid in his mind. If you look close enough, you'd be able to tell his eyes are crazed, mad.
He's losing his mind, and he just recovered from having it fucked up by Itachi.]
[Private to Sasuke||Unhackable][Video]
... Al has those memories too, from Itachi's point of view. He knows everything that happened that night, in vivid detail. Everything.]
...
He spared you.
Why?
[Private to Alphonse||Unhackable][Video]
He reaches down, quickly with a shaky hand, and just turns the PCD off. He can't deal with this. He had just recovered from going through hell a second time.]
