Sasuke comes back to Konoha looking untouched, no blood, no wounds, no signs of the violence everyone assumes follows him. That's what makes it wrong.
Hinata finds him at the gate after midnight, sitting with his hands open like he's waiting to be told what kind of person he is tonight. He asks her one flat, hollow question: Tell me if there's blood on me.
He doesn't remember what happened out there, and the possibility terrifies him more than any enemy ever could. Hinata doesn't treat him like glass. She checks him anyway. She anchors him anyway. And in the cold, abandoned quiet of the village, she becomes the one steady thing between Sasuke and the version of himself he's afraid to wake up as.
Note: Fic deals with PTSD, dissociation, memory gaps following violence, and quiet psychological distress. No graphic violence is depicted, but themes may be heavy for some readers.
