[It may seem like all she wants is to cause chaos, but that's rarely all it is even with the most unstable of individuals. If she'd started bringing in others to turn into monsters then she needed the forces - most likely to contend with this other being of power, this Elias Liewen that Sasuke spoke of with such hatred.
He understands now, at least partially, why his brother must have sided with one deity against the other instead of remaining neutral. He felt violated by Liewen and sought out the best means of acting against him.
Now he's telling the story to Itachi the way he would have when they were children. It's strange to think that, after all these years, Sasuke has so easily fallen back into the position of younger brother, expressing his woes to him just because he's there to listen. If he's asking for validation then Itachi can't give it to him, but at least he's there to hear him.
After all, it seems he's cut himself off from communicating with everyone else.]
... What month is it now?
[Someone else might offer their brother some more sympathy in this situation, and he's sure he will eventually, but right now this is all so sudden he's not yet ready for it.]
