[shumi]

what's happening in the sunlight room?

[blackfire]

Some of the crewmates have adjusted the simulation to reflect a beachfront setting.

（ he knows because he's There. it's the worst. ）

1/2

[shumi]

[shumi]

guess i'm staying in my room

[blackfire]

A wise choice.

Though I suppose it would present an opportunity for the team building you're so fond of.

[shumi]

in what way?

[blackfire]

（ please don't make the international terrorist explain how socialization works to you kakashi!!! ）

If you can't see how, perhaps I am mistaken.

[shumi]

perhaps you are

( team building doesn't need to be at a beach party, itachi-kun.

besides, he isn't into casual socialization. )

i guess you must be in attendance then

[blackfire]

No.

（ not... anymore. ）

[shumi]

i'm surprised

you seem to get along quite well with the crew

( tell him about the friends you made along the way, itachi. )

[blackfire]

No better or worse than I did the Akatsuki.

（ no ）

[shumi]

you haven't made any friends then?

[blackfire]

Have you?

[shumi]

do you count?

( he's kidding. )

[blackfire]

We are not friends.

（ allies, perhaps — tenuously. ）

[shumi]

what hurtful words

in that case, i guess i have none here either

[blackfire]

They are not necessary to our goal.

In fact, such bonds are often more of a hinderance.

[shumi]

( he agrees. )

what about you and me?

[blackfire]

You and I both wish to change the fate of Konoha.

As long as our goals align, I see no reason we are not acting in alliance. However — I do not begrudge your lack of trust in me.

[shumi]

( what. )

is that the impression i'm giving?

[blackfire]

Is there another reason you persist in interrogating me?

[shumi]

interrogating you?

i haven't been interrogating you, itachi

[blackfire]

Then why are you asking me so many questions?

[shumi]

( well, this is a little embarrassing to say, isn't it? )

because i want to get to know you better

[blackfire]

（ what. ）

Why?

（ is he sounding like a broken record rn? yes. ）
