March 22, 2014 | 3:02am. I look horrible. I feel horrible. I am horrible. School is kicking my ass, and it doesn't help seeing Yuki's perfectly groomed self four times a week. At least Itachi's avoiding me. I wouldn't be able to keep my cool if I did.

Eyes skimming over [Name]'s journal, Itachi quietly turned the page, having just finished reading through January up until March. Some entries were long, and excruciatingly detailed; others were simple lines, or short poems. Reading her life day by day, Itachi began to realise just how quickly [Name] was deteriorating through 2014.

"Itachi? Why are you still awake?"

The lethargic Uchiha raised his head in surprise, not expecting Yuki to speak to him at this time of night.

"Just going over some things before work tomorrow..." he muttered. Yuki glanced at the clock on her beside table, and shook her head.

"It's three in the morning, Itachi," said Yuki softly, patting her husband on the shoulder. "Go to sleep now."

Reluctantly, Itachi shut [Name]'s journal and put it in his drawer, turning off his lamp, and laying in bed as he tried to go to sleep.


He didn't.
