[She knows the pain of losing your family (more than once) and she doesn't need to know why to understand how much hurt it caused a young boy. She lost most of her clan in wars until all that was left was the few who escaped and found refuge among other countries. They weren't a singular unit anymore but remnants of a once powerful clan.
Like Sasuke.]
I know apologizing doesn't fix anything but no one should have to go through losing their family like that. It's cruel and unfair. [She's just sorry she only has memories of Mikoto.
What happened?]
But Itachi's here, I think. Your big brother. Did you know?
