Wait. She was an Emochiha now. Right. Damn, that was special snowflake-ish all by itself. Especially if she was when she thought she was. Or hoped. Both worked.

“If I did, why didn’t she stay?” Renee asks, crossing her hands on her chest, and Genma just offers her a small smile. It’s reassuring.

“Don’t expect much from a civilian,” he notes, walking over and sitting on the edge of her hospital bed. “She had no idea how to deal with a ninja kid, more less with what happened, and she thought that those medic-nin did job decent enough that you didn’t get a heart attack on the spot.”

“Well, I didn’t,” Renee agrees.

“Good, because it was damaged. Not opened, but damaged, and they had to heal the muscle tissue,” senbon clanks again, as Genma grabs her medical record. “Damn, it’s a miracle that you’re alive in first place.”

“Damn indeed, but could you please tell me, maybe, just why am I here? And why was my heart damaged, or why I should be dead in first place?”

Genma looks at her, slightly disoriented, and she looks back, expectantly, and perhaps even hopeful. She hopes for answers, she hopes for-

“You remember nothing?” tokujo asks, and she sighs.

“Being impaled with a blade I’d say was a katana,” she answers truthfully, because yes, this is the last she remembers. Even if it’s not this body she remembers being impaled, it’s still truth.

“You see…” Genma scratches back of his neck, visibly thinking about how to phrase the explanation, and she just rolls her eyes. The suspense is awful, really, snd she wants to know whether she’s safe from Itachi for the time being, or not.

“Well?”

“Your cousin, Itachi, went all crazy and slaughtered the whole clan,” Genma blurts out with just one breath, and instantly his look screams ‘I shouldn’t have said that’, as he glances at her with worry.

He doesn’t see Renee’s face, as she bends it down and allows hair to hide it. But if he could see it, he would be startled by just how relieved she looked, and would surely label her off as a mentally unstable, she’s certain.

“Itachi the Pacifist, huh?” she says finally, looking up when she’s certain that nothing can betray her concealed urge to dance in happiness anymore. “Anyone else left alive or I’m the only one lucky enough?”

“Well,” Genma scratches his chin. “There’s also Itachi’s little brother, Sasuke. He, unlike you, was just simply spared.”

“And nobody else did, like me, survive?” she asks just for the sake of mood and accuracy, even if she knows that no, no one is an answer.

“No, no one,” tokujo answers. “You survived only because… Well. Your organs are misplaced. Mirrored. Your heart is on the right side, and Itachi aimed for left, and that’s why it was just scratched.”

Situs inversus, namely dextrocardia, Renee thinks. Holy shit, even that? It’s not like it hinders functioning or anything like that, but it’s super rare autosomal recessive genetic condition, and Renee, just like her grandmother before her, had it. The fact that this body she swapped into had it as well-

It was creepy. Unsettling. Eerie.

Renee doesn’t like that even one bit.
