Lots and lots of thanks to Sly for the inspiration. Without you this epilogue wouldn’t have happened.

74: He can touch winter
.
Epilogue 4.2: Itachi
.
.
He breathes clouds and his toes are cold. His coat is not really made for winter, but with only fifteen minutes outside warmer clothing is not necessary. And this day the sun is out. The glittering white field in front of him is so bright that he has to squint. The world is silent and still.
The softly waved snow stretches so far and is so untouched that something inside him longs to run. He has nowhere to go; the snow would get into his shoes, stick to the legs of his pants and melt; they would drug him afterwards and it would take months before they let him go outside again. But he wants to run. He wants something to change. He wants to reach to the other side of the field and see his world from outside.
He closes his eyes instead and squats and reaches down. Taking a handful of snow, the cold meets his fingers and it is welcome. He easily forms the whiteness with his hands and the surface melts against his skin, sending water running down his wrists and between his fingers. With no gloves he can touch winter and winter can touch him.
It is the twenty fourth of December and there are five minutes left of his time outside. He spends them feeling and watching the snow melt in his hands; then he lets what remains of it fall, stands again and casts one last look on the white field, before turning and following the nurse inside.
