So you weren't— I'm glad. [She is still a bit shaken from hearing what happened to the clan but she looks relieved to know that she was right to assume both of them survive because of course that is what she is most worried about. She can only imagine how hard it must have been for Sasuke to tell her at all but she is glad that he did

At the mention of asking Itachi why they both survived, she wonders moment why she he couldn't just tell her himself but she doesn't ask that of him, instead she just nods] I'll ask him.

[Mikoto is still caught up in trying to process this and not cry at the same time so she does what she can actually do and she hugs him again] Sasuke, I'm so sorry that I wasn't there for you both.
