It was a moment Mei would never forget, although it was one that she should never have seen. But there was just so much going on, both in her head and all around them. The Kyuubi was fast approaching and there were only minutes, possibly mere seconds left for them to set everything into place for their last attack. Their final stand. Because if this failed...if they failed...there was no hope left for the village.

It would be doomed to suffer the same fate as all those nations of old that had fallen to the destruction of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

So when the kunoichi had caught sight of Kushina and Minato sharing what would be their last kiss for all eternity on this side of the divide, their newborn child cradled in the space between their tired and torn bodies, she could not muster up enough decency or discretion to turn away. After all, when flesh and bone were destroyed and their ashes scattered to the winds...when legend became rumor and myth...someone needed to remember this night and how it truly happened.
