I died as well. Sasuke killed me, because I wanted him to. [That simple statement doesn't do justice to years of manipulation and lies, but it's still true.] Perhaps he's also told you that.

What do you want me to take away, then? It doesn't sound as if you're ready to discuss a compromise. For the time being, I'd recommend avoiding one another in person. I would respect that distance.
