[Itachi is completely drawn in by Law's retelling, trying not to compare it to his own situation and failing. It's just human nature to do that.
There weren't a lot of similarities when it all came down to it. Some, but on a very basic level. A corrupt government - Sasuke would say theirs was more corrupt than Itachi believed it to be. They still desired to protect the innocent, even if poor decisions had been made.
Yet he imagines his little brother's smile when Law mentioned his sister's. Something he should have been trying to protect but had forced away instead...
A brief distracting thought, because he can start to sense what's happens next and it's already painful to consider. He keeps listening, the room silent except for the sound of his husband's voice.]
