Summary
“Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t” — [idiom] meaning it is better to endure a difficult person or situation one is familiar with, even if it is painful, than to take a risk with an unknown person or thing.
Ethan is still speaking—yelling—and Adam is—he’s a little nauseous. Part of him doesn’t want to be a part of this conversation at all, and a more traitorous part of him wants to call her back, but Ethan still has his cell phone.
Adam thinks, isn’t this how everything went long last time? Adam hid paycheck stubs from his parents and got caught in his own web of lies. Now he’s lied to Ethan and he has been caught for that as well. He never learns. He always makes the same mistakes.
Adam dampens his lips and chooses his next words carefully. “I don’t understand why you’re angry.”

Summary
He’d lost people too, Sakura suddenly remembered. He’d never told the details, not to her, but—
“You know how this feels,” Sakura said, tilting her head towards him in something like curiosity.
Kakashi’s fingers squeezed her shoulder. He didn’t move for a moment—but then he slowly nodded.
“I—know how this feels,” he murmured, agreeing.
Paperwork didn’t help. Lying in her bed didn’t help. Sparring helped. Healing helped. The hospital helped. Drinks at a bar bought for her from across the room helped.
This, Sakura realized, helped. This made it easier.
