[medpacksapunch]

Significant Neutral: A once in a lifetime request (pg10-16)
Game 93 // Day 116, morning
Form: Turquoise gourd filled with cool water
Shareable: no

Summary: Sasuke has 3/4 run away and 1/4 been kidnapped -- a small group of 13 year old boys is clearly the best chance they have to rescue him/bring him back. Sakura has to stay home because her silly girl feelings were completely ineffectual at stopping Sasuke from leaving. She begs Naruto to bring Sasuke home, because he's the only one who can. Lee assures Sakura that everything will All Be Okay.

Effects:
>> Well, Sakura now at least has the context for her last memory -- she knows what it is she was feeling so guilty over; she can connect "please save Sasuke, you're the only one who can" to 'and then Naruto tried to save Sasuke so hard he became a monster'.
>> She's also half aware that Naruto likes her but has obviously always known how much she likes Sasuke and preferences that for her.
>> ...vague feeling of hopelessness wrt Sasuke because apparently getting through to him is just not a thing she is capable of? At least not whatever methods she's tried. though apparently beating him up should be a good method..?
>> +feeling of frustration from obviously being too weak to be of any help here
>> training training training training training training training training training training training training training
>> recognition for some of the other Konoha boys, though she's not really going to focus on that until later. Except hey, it's Neji. Hi, Neji!

And just for my own info.

Part of me is like but think of what it would look like if I hadn't just skipped a week. And then the other part responds stop being silly.
