The image of Shika's lifeless face, and the corpses of the villagers both flash in front of her eyes, and for a moment Nill is certain she'll be sick.
It isn't until Naruto speaks again that she manages to pull out of her own head. However long he'd been gone... it had been tough on him, hadn't it? Why was nothing ever easy... why couldn't they all just be left alone, just once?
If god really existed, and Nill ever got to speak with him, she's sure that would be the only thing she'd be able to say. Why?
Why, why, why...
But Nill doesn't say anything to Naruto. She lifts her hands to his cheeks, wiping at his tears with her fingers, before pulling him into a hug.
