You look at the uchiwa symbol with a contemplating gaze, your one-year-old mind attempting to trace back where you've seen it before.
Of course you've seen it before; from Father's uniform, from the back of your shirts, from the walls of the clan compound. It's a common and repetitive crest that seems to adorn every nook and cranny of your neighborhood.

Uchiha Itachi.
At the realization of your predicament, you can't help but cry.
When Mother hears and comes to comfort you and you recognize her to be Uchiha Mikoto, you wailed.
