Sasuke shakes, because after the hell of the last three years, after digging his own grave and coming back again, after vengeance and loss and madness and so much pain,

Sakura offers him a happy ending, an absolution of his burdens, a way out.

And he can’t take it, can’t alter this path he’s on, can’t invalidate every choice he’s made, because he has to see this through, and no one, not even someone who really truly has the power to make it all better, can change the facts.

No matter how much he wishes she could.
