[Sasuke's silence is still as painful as ever, and Hitsugaya can't help but think having no blood relatives to speak of is clearly to his advantage. The way Sasuke acts whenever his clan is involved is something Hitsugaya still can't comprehend, let alone accept.
He sits quietly for a moment, but when Sasuke says nothing else, he finally speaks up again.]
[Being without family has always been hard for him to accept. He went through a period of depression when he was a child, and he'll...most likely have a brief period of it, here. He's got the upcoming holiday to distract him for a bit. Who knows how he'll feel after.]
[Hitsu just wants Sasuke to see people like Al and himself as family over some jerk like Madara. But he knows better than the push unnecessarily anymore.
When Sasuke answers, he just sighs and goes back to the cookbook. There isn't much else he can do that won't end in one of them storming out.]
[He does, actually, it's just. a different level compared to blood family. Though Sasuke doesn't say anything else, he does move a little closer to watch the other cook.]

I was...hoping I wouldn't experience it again as long as I was here.

[Not Sasuke. Uchiha.]
The man who disappeared was nothing more than a distant relative who tortured you, put the entire city in danger, and murdered Hinamori.
Find someone still here who deserves the title more.
