Obito holds Sasuke's stare, unwavering and steady as he confronts the fury welling up in his eyes head on. It isn't so much challenging as it is his way of showing respect, because turning away would be too easy. Just as dying had been.
Sorry would be too empty of an offering, even pointless in the grand scheme of things. His past actions are irrevocable and showing remorse or regret might even seem like a slap in the face for someone so affected. Sasuke was -- is a victim and to approach him like this is bold, maybe even selfish, but he has done so partly out of concern for the boy. Having gotten to know him, he can just imagine what kind of headspace he's in. ]
I wasn't sure if you'd confirm whether or not my assumptions were correct. I thought I'd be positive.
[ A bit of ironic humour, but it's muted. ]
What now, Sasuke?
[ He's well aware that Sasuke doesn't owe it to him to share his plans. He's prepared for the likely scenario where he doesn't receive a concrete answer.
Maybe even Sasuke doesn't know what he's going to do. That wouldn't be surprising. ]
