Words like those were reminiscent of every single relationship he'd had since that night. Perhaps, even before then. Where once upon a time he'd known the limits and allowances his friends and family had of him - and practically over night the trust had been broken. Itachi had spent far too many years thinking over when it had started, what he could have done to prevent it, what he should have done to stop things escalating as they had done.
Hindsight was a wonderful thing - and all he would have done if he had the chance to go back, even knowing what he knew now, was very likely to make sure he eliminated Orochimaru.
Itachi was already making his way closer to his brother, eyes on his face rather than taking in whatever changes had been happening.
