-Evening Time-

-Third Person POV-

In Nurse Yumi's office, Sasuke lay on the soft bed, trembling and whimpering, the fresh wounds on his spirit reopening with each passing moment.

Nurse Yumi's treatment had an unexpected effect on him – it soothed his body but tormented his soul.

The Medical Ninjutsu she applied was meant to heal physical injuries, not the emotional scars that ran deeper.

As Nurse Yumi worked, she couldn't help but pity the young boy.

Her gaze, filled with compassion or more biasedly pity, rested upon him.

Sasuke despised that look, how he had come to loathe it in such a short time.

It seemed to follow him everywhere, a grim reminder of his own weakness and helplessness.

He wished that their "well-intentioned" pity could bring back his parents, his clan.

"Why... Why was I the only one to survive?" the unspoken question echoed in his mind.

Minutes passed, and the trembling gradually subsided, though his spirit was far from healed.

It was as if time and the fleeting nature of emotions had provided only temporary bandages for his wounded soul.

Sasuke had failed to notice Nurse Yumi's occasional gestures of kindness, like wiping away the tears that flowed from his eyes.

Nurse Yumi's voice signaled the end of the healing session, bringing Sasuke back to reality. "There you go, Uchiha-san. You should stick to soft foods for a few days; you took quite a hit," she said gently, her face adorned with a small, compassionate smile as she withdrew her hands from his abdomen.

Sasuke found her kindness irritating, as it radiated pity that he couldn't stand.

He clenched his jaw but managed a response, recognizing that he had once known kindness and could not completely reject it.

"Hn," he grunted, giving her a small nod in acknowledgment.

"Great! I'll be right back!" Nurse Yumi's cheerful voice filled the room as she left to fetch his dinner.

Finally, alone in the Nurse's Office, Sasuke felt a sense of relief.

He craved peace and quiet, even if just for a moment.

His onyx eyes stared up at the white ceiling, and with a rough exhale, he let out the pain and exhaustion that had been plaguing him, his emotions laid bare in that single expression.

And quite literally, Sasuke's moment of peace lasted for a moment, as he heard mumblings behind the door to the Nurse's office.

He could barely make out their muffled voices, "Akira this is the place right?" A tired tone of voice
