"I haven't seen Jin in a week."
Shisui Uchiha sat at the table with his chin propped on one hand. By now, he had gotten used to being blind.
He had no trouble with everyday life.
After all, his home was familiar territory, so moving around posed no problems.
I really want to go see him...
The main problem was that Shisui Uchiha couldn't figure out how Jin felt about him.
He didn't know whether Jin had completely forgiven him.
If he went over unannounced and upset Jin, and Jin never came to visit him again...
Wouldn't that be awful?
To be safe, he should stay home like this and wait for his friend to visit.
He wondered what Jin had been doing lately.
Why hadn't he come to see him in so long?
Surely he hadn't made new friends in the village, or grown closer to his old classmates.
Kurenai Yuhi, for example...
That woman used to pester Jin all the time. Fortunately, she had suddenly disappeared from the picture over the past two years.

Perhaps she really could take his place.
Shisui Uchiha's face instantly went pale at the thought.

He could already picture the two of them sitting together over a meal.
It's not real. None of it is real!
