Then I think it's cruel because I know for people like us...even if I don't know what you've done, it weighs on you. I know you carry it.

He has no desire to try to push Itachi when his friend is clearly laying down a boundary. Anyway, Itachi is definitely right about one thing, and it's that it's none of his business.]
I'm sorry then, for assuming. And I have an unrelated question for you. What do you think counts as an act of violence?
Yeah. But I don't have an interest in punching someone who doesn't deserve it. I was hoping I could get away with something smaller. Pinching or flicking. Something like that.
