Hinata slumped to the floor, landing on her knees with her legs splayed out behind her. She'd never maintained that amount of coldness, anger, in her entire life. At first, it had felt wonderful to say what she thought, to get all of that sorrow and guilt and anger off of her chest, but it didn't last long. Not when the sight of Neji-nii-san dying kept reappearing before her.

She had no idea how other people had arguments that lasted so long. "Thank you for trying to help me, Uchiha Sasuke-kun," she said, tears finally falling as she continued to sit on the cold floor. "I am sure that nothing that anyone says will change her mind, nor that of Neji-kun. Not until they are ready."
