“You don’t have to go inside,” Konan says, pulling up to the old house.

Nagato turns to her with determination. “And how many years have you been coming here to pray?”

It feels like he has to fight for everything these days; even the dignity to pay his respects. Konan's taut frown as she helps him out of the car reminds him that it's only a matter of time before he must succumb to a wheelchair. He grips his cane tighter, and Konan's hand tighter still. He's not ready.

At the shrine, he kneels painfully before Yahiko's bright picture.

"Tadaima."
