Short Summary: It hasn't been the best month for Sasuke. Initially, it began with Naruto avoiding both him and Sakura, which was unusual/out of character and alongside the concern, Sasuke found himself agitated with Shadow thoughts about their relationship in general. He's so used to Naruto always being there, always willing to meet with him, so it was a nasty shock when that changed. Even after pursuing Naruto across the Shadowlands, his friend hid inside his Door and couldn't be reached. Sasuke spoke briefly with Sakura and agreed to try and figure out what was going on.
Unfortunately, due to fighting with Grimmjow during the harvest festival, Sasuke was soon imprisoned by the Hierarchy. Even powerless, he managed to escape thanks to a few different individuals and ran into Sakura and Naruto on the way out. He also realized the state Naruto was in (badly bruised/wounded due to the bijū chakra not healing him as effectively in this world). This drove Sasuke to confront Naruto after his escape. The two had a conversation in Naruto's Door, where Sasuke proposed becoming soulmates to protect Naruto against the deterioration and interference of the Shadow, because Naruto's survival is the most important goal to Sasuke at this moment (and he knows Sakura would agree). The conversation, however, went badly and the two fought instead. They did not become soulmates.
Immediately after this, Sasuke became sick with the hanahaki disease. He was told by Fukawa that this disease is linked to unrequited feelings, which caused him to blow up under the influence of Shadow thoughts and copious denial. He also met and spoke with Laurent about the Hierarchy, soulmates, the hanahaki disease, and other topics while the two tried Not To Have Feelings. Additionally he: needled Amun and Assana for information with true Karen energy; met new faces such as Leaks, Childe, Lumine, Keith, Jugram and others; spoke with Jonas and Steve Harrington on the network; and got a little high from Rosuv's medicine while hanging out with Ichigo at the library.
Toward the end of the month, Naruto has seemingly disappeared from the Netherworld as he goes into a Harrowing while the player is on hiatus. This will leave Sasuke in a complicated emotional state. He may believe Naruto has returned home, which is a good thing, but it can't be proven and he's going to wonder if he had any hand in Naruto's departure. He's also still suffering the hanahaki disease and struggling with the apparent knowledge that it's caused by his own feelings. His Shadow will be overactive as a result into December.
