[OPEN] Onsen - Trial of Lonliness
She was cold.
Sasuke breathed out a sigh and watched as that breath evaporated into the air in front of her, pulling her clothes more tightly around her. It wasn't her place to stay with that Itachi... The Itachi who had a happy life, she thought bitterly. The life that had been denied to her older brother, to her... A hard shudder went through her before she left her make-shift shelter, and she shivered hard before walking around the village, trying actively to avoid any chakra signatures she knew. Eventually, this led her to the onsen.
It was free, although only the mixed bath was open. Apparently all the costs came with renting a room and buying the food, but she didn't care. She was only there for the bath. Without hesitation she slid into the women's changing rooms, sliding off her clothing and frowning at herself in the mirror. She could see her ribs, meaning that she was far too thin to be as physically strong as she'd like. But what else could she do? It wasn't like she could afford food, or a place to stay. If she was still with the others, she'd at least survive...
No, that wasn't true. She could survive on her own. She'd simply have to figure out how.
Body wrapped in a towel, she sighed as the steam warmed her further before she slipped it off and set it beside the edge of the water, sliding in soon after. Even starving as she was, it was better than freezing. And maybe a warm bath would help her clear her mind and figure out a way to exit Jiten no Kuni and go back to familiar territory, too...
