[ She's stunned into simplicity. All her complex thoughts are blown away. Even after admitting all those damning truths, Minato doesn't hate her. After she dropped a tree branch on him, he still doesn't think she's detestable. After she called him pitiable, he still thinks there's good in her.
Tears well up in her eyes. Her shoulders shake, and as her eyes shut and she presses her forehead against Minato in that brief hug, the vivid green of her curse vanishes.
Maybe this is all she needed, someone to forgive her for how she really is.
Maybe she won't disappoint him someday. Maybe he really won't abandon her like she's always thought. ]
