► PUSHING UP DAISIES
Sasuke will be experiencing the second variation of this, unrequited, which does include physical/emotional attraction as well. The worst part is that he won't understand why even when he learns the reason behind the disease (denial denial denial). I'm happy to go as severe on the body horror with this as wanted. He's going to have a very bad time, but he'll try to hide the worst of it. Healers may be sought out by him in particular. Otherwise, maybe you can commiserate with him? Call him out for being willfully oblivious about his repressed feelings?

► DO NOT PASS GO
Thanks to getting a bit rowdy during the Harvest, Sasuke will be imprisoned! grimmjow you suck I want to stagger threads for this to preserve ~the illusion of continuity~, so I'm thinking 1-3 jailmates and then maybe a few encounters on his way out (we can handwave getting separated or smth). Also, he's ignoring the prisoner, so yell at him to change his mind? Also also, a good opportunity to blow the shinobi cover!

► QUESTS / MISC
If none of this works, I've got some other things I'm doing with Sasuke in the background in addition to Notice Board quests that caught my eye.

Sasuke is often out and about in the wilderness (he's living out there lmao), so any encounters with others are welcome, especially around the Forges because he's doing a lot of recon there wrt to soul-forging

For quests, I'm mostly eyeing the Serene, Mirth, or Harbors prompts: he will definitely investigate the statues in the cavern; please let's see our nightmares on the Big Screen even if he has no idea what these movies are; he can fish decently (survival skillz), let him help you!
