[The voice comes from everywhere. No way to trace Law through sound alone.
Not that the pirate wants to be undetected. Not now. Not when he's starting to face what's behind that wall.]
Anger isn't a weakness. Grief isn't a weakness. Suppressing and cutting yourself off from feeling is just as compromising as being lost untethered in that sea.
[And there he is through the trees. Emotion and weakness. He knows the argument. Knows that cutting, berating voice that whispers to Itachi because it whispers to him too. It's a voice that's been by his side for decades.
He's been prey to it. He's believed it. Never questioned it.
(How he had cut into himself for his grief and called it weakness when Itachi disappeared.)
But only seeing it speak to another does he start to see it as it is.]
You aren't being weak, Itachi. By allowing yourself this, you are being strong.
