[ His own look softened a bit. He had felt as if he had become too intense for his own good. But this was something he could live with. ]
[ This was Zero, he knew, but so different. Something had happened. His previous shinki incarnation had the same feeling but... so much lighter. The returned memories, he could then assume, added a heavy weight upon the other man's shoulders. It was the only reason he could think of. ]
[ And it made him wonder... if he ever remembered his old life...would he change, too? He had only been "alive" for so long. He.. he liked who he was now. He would never wish to be anyone else. ]
[ This Zero, he knew, could never be coerced into something as flimsy as friendship. Itachi himself knew better than that--it was why, even after being here, he had still not gained a single friend. Perhaps there was something wrong with him. Perhaps he was unworthy of being loved. So this was the closest thing he had. ]
[ He was bound to his god, and so he would bind himself to Zero, but in a different way. Just through words. ]
[ But he could trust Zero's word. That much he knew. ]
...Do not fail me, then. [ He wouldn't thank him. This was his own pact, as well. ]
