[She listens to every word, hands clenching at the fabric of her pants during the later parts. Never stopped loving him? Never stopped loving him her ass. If that was the case, he'd have found another way. Taken Sasuke with him when he left or come up with another plan or....something. If he'd had the chance.
Etro she knows why now. Had she been in Itachi's shoes, and Serah in Sasuke's, could she have made that choice? She doesn't know. At thirteen she was coddled, not a killer. Their world is insane. The thought crosses her mind that it's no wonder Sasuke has issues if he came from a world like that, and she swallows the tickle of hysterical laughter in her chest back down. She needs to think.
How much of that is true? How much of it is something Itachi made up? Is he making it up at all? It's insane but...fal'Cie, she can't tell. She doesn't know what to say, either. It's clear that Sasuke's shared something incredibly important with her, but she doesn't know how to respond. She swallows harder, clears her throat and looks directly at him. He seems...older, somehow. Older than when they left her care.]

...Do you believe him? What he told you?
