Alien: Why do you do that? What does it mean?
Human: Do what?
Alien: The verbal sound. "Um" and "Uh"
Human: Oh! Well, sometimes when I'm trying speak, I need to a moment to process. It's a pause while I think.
Alien: Why don't you just say nothing when you pause?
Human: Oh! Um...

Not to sound bitter but one of my biggest hopes for The Veilguard is that ALL the companions get an equal amount of content and care put into their stories and romances, so we don't end up with another Wyll Ravengard situation.

That one time the second kiss Greygold gave Wyll led to an actual relationship because Lae'zel and Greygold were never actually official, ahahahahahastressful
Look, Greygold had absolutely tried their best to impress Lae'zel as a no-nonsense, nothing-but-tough soldier, but Greygold is as good at hiding their soft mushy bits as Astarion is to hiding he's a vampire spawn.
This is just Lae'zel's way of gently letting Greygold know that she knew all along.
Further long-winded thought process below:
Y'all, my brain could not register what Lae'zel had said and how they got back together again after the whole Wyll They, Won't They dance debacle because I was totally not freaking out about accidentally losing dat chance with Lae'zel at all~
So I like to think that if Lae'zel had heard Greygold's reasoning for "moving on", Lae'zel would've been too flabbergasted not to accidentally spill out some act 3 confessions early herself.
And sure, the only time wyll disagreed with Greygold was when they defended the caged goblin from getting shot and insisted keeping the vampire spawn that almost drank Greygold to death around , but Greygold took that personally.
But if Wyll had heard Greygold's reasoning as well, he'd've had also probably given a similar speech by which then Greygold would've probably fallen in love with Mr. Charming right then and there. Thankfully, Lae'zel swooped in first before we got to the point of a YA novelized love-triangle

Edo-Tensei implies the sacrifice of a living human being for their body to become the vessel of the soul they're trying to bring back. What this author means is that Sasuke and Sakura are willing to perform inhumane acts to "see each other again".
The jutsu was created by Tobirama, someone Sasuke despises.
This is the same jutsu Orochimaru, whom Sakura admitted to hating as he "took Sasuke away from Konoha", used; why would she willingly use a jutsu from his book?
The caster has complete control of the person they summon, the person that was "revived" has no real volition of their own. Obito, who used to love Rin, never even entertained the idea of summoning her (and thus, controlling her), what a disgusting thing to do to someone you "love".
This is the same man who canonically has the chance to see his wife whenever he pleases, yet he doesn't, why on earth would he revive her? Why wouldn't he revive Itachi, Mikoto, or Fugaku for that matter?
Sakura has little to no knowledge of füinjutsu, let alone enough chakra to perform something like this.
Sasuke having a "moment" with Itachi doesn't translate to him actually liking the technique.
"Sasuke and Sakura are only thinking of a possibility" is just as awful as performing it; they're willing to do such a monstrous thing to others to fulfill their selfish wishes. The fact that they didn't do it isn't because they aren't prone to do so, but because they didn't have to, as both are still alive.
Edo-tensei is not romantic, at all. It's one of the worst techniques ever invented as it was devised to seek control over powerful (deceased) shinobi to use their souls/techniques as tools of military power. The person revived has no control over their actions, so they see themselves committing acts they might not agree with because the person who summoned them wanted their strength.
Its origin was about complete control of a human being (humiliation likely plays a part, as having no control over your body yet having your mind intact is the ultimate form of torture), the possession of the power of others, and the ultimate tool as those revived receive no real damage as they respawn.
Edit to add: This line was, in fact, in Sasuke Retsuden (in the manga adaptation Sasuke never actually confirmed this, as it was Sakura who replied for him -lol-). Jun Esaka just butchered the entirety of Sasuke's characterization, this woman was paid to write a SasuSaku story and couldn't even bother to understand and respect the characters' original personality, having to modify everything about them and using their trauma as a "romantic device" to show "how much Sasuke and Sakura love each other". I have no respect for her as an author, at least, not as an author inside the Narutoverse.
