Everyone has blind spots -- secret areas one cannot see and dark mysteries one fails to understand. No matter how hard one tries, it eludes us and often hides right in front of our noses.
Did Sasuke tell me the truth about that day?
That's a question I should have been able to answer easily and without much effort. Not so long ago, I could have made a valid assessment with certainty. KISU trained me well on how to detect deception and assess targets. Those lessons are embedded so deeply into my mind that they've become second nature.
But that training has become useless now. And I'm the only one to blame for it. Why? Because every KISU Operations agent knows full well that once a person becomes important to you, your assessment of them becomes compromised. Your emotions get in the way.
KISU warns that getting too close to targets can pose a threat to the mission. Agents are also prohibited from assessing their family members, friends, and loved ones for this exact reason. These people become dangerous blind spots and potential pressure points for any agent. Another colleague has to take over so as not to compromise the assessment's accuracy.

I can only take responsibility for my feelings. So, I have no right to feel cheated or betrayed because we're not together. And yet, I still feel just as shitty now as when found out. Yesterday, I promised that I won't give a damn, didn't I? And I still-
