video || second chances
[The recent post made by WTF (or WoTF) has finally prompted Kushina to make an entry again, addressing this world at large and the people in it. Or at least those that can see this.
First, a deep breath.]
I don't know if anybody has been thanked for all the effort, for putting their lives on the line to save this world by those of us who don't remember how bad it was. There were people who made this place better for everyone and went back in time. It still sounds ridiculous to me and kind of impossible but this world is good at making impossible things possible, isn't it? [Like bringing people back to life.
Minato was good at it too. Space-time and doing impossible things.]
So... thank you. [At the end, her voice nearly cracks and she bows her head before lifting it again.
Now. Her smile is sad.]
It seems like we can go home soon, huh? That's good. We should go home because that's where we belong. Even if we have a choice to stay, we should go home in the end. So many people have fought for us to do just that. They're still fighting. If we don't go home, isn't it just like scorning those people and all their efforts? Isn't it forgetting who we are?
Don't be so selfish about wanting to stay here. There's a million other people in different timelines and worlds that don't. You should all work hard too to overcome your weaknesses so you're not stuck here anyway. There's people who do want to go home but they're going back to a place worse than this. Because it's home! Even if it's going back to their own death or being alone!
Even if it means losing everything here that is precious...
[A long, pregnant pause and Kushina finishes with a question after shaking her head a little.]
How many of you were given a second chance by being here?
[She closes the journal immediately after.]

[But what if he didn't have to go back home?] If I had a choice, I'd definitely have to think it over.
no subject
If it's your responsibility to take care of that something.
[She's at a point where's she's talked so much about this and gotten many different perspectives. Her own conflicting thoughts means she's thought about it -- is still thinking about it.]
Nobody has to decide right away. It's not like we have the option to go home right now.
no subject
It could take months. There's no guarantee that it won't fail like last time, either.
