Summary
As Sakumo studies Orochimaru in earnest, it’s his eyes that catch Sakumo’s notice first. They hold a manic, almost despairing look; one the Hatake recognizes all too well. One like so many comrades he’s stood next to on the battlefield, facing certain death while desperate to live.
It's also an expression that he sees in the mirror every morning while thinking acidic, hateful thoughts. Thoughts that corrode his will. Thoughts that make him forget his son, his village, and everything he has left to live for.
I don't think I can save myself.

Summary
Human interactions were not Orochimaru’s strength. Fortunately, Tsunade was always willing to answer questions. The jōnin standby station probably wasn’t the best place to ask, but options were limited. He’d just have to deal with the lack of privacy, and Jiraiya being a nuisance, and Tsunade mooning over Katō, and…
And the very distracting presence of the subject of his question – and object of his affections – Sakumo Hatake, just across the room.
