Neji is dumb. He's not as bad as he could be--he lucked out having people show up and be supportive, both after his breakup and after his death. If he'd had fewer friends for either, he'd be in a worse place now.
That said, he was very shaken up, and he feels sort of like a failure as a ninja for letting it bother him as much as it did. He's supposed to be able to handle dying! Itachi wasn't this disturbed by it. But he is disturbed. He also feels like he shouldn't have been taken by SURPRISE. That's a big part of why he's bothered--he's supposed to be able to tell when people are lying, normally he can tell when someone isn't human or something like that, he ought to have seen a CHAINSAW before it got to him. So...
And even with the friends he's had, not being with Itachi while he deals with this is making him feel very alone.
Tell me about VK! Somehow, I never really got drawn into it. Despite vampires. Should I have checked it out?
