Stitch #69.

Damn.
How persistent of the City to continuously force me into a debate, where I must question the value of my pride. There is nothing more important - except that which my pride must protect.
I cannot, will not allow them to be hurt. However, with my reiatsu nullified, and that "tainting" all the reishi I could gather, I must if I have any interest in surviving swallow enough pride to request, however intolerable, assistance.
Or, lower myself to using a tool of Kurotsuchi Mayuri's?

If you would humor me this far, I require a list of those Szayel Aporro, Octava Espada, is assumed to have kidnapped. With this, any conjectures as to the reiatsu he has probably accumulated in his time in the City.
Known and probable reiatsus: Mine, Kurosaki's, Inoue-san's, Abarai's.
To those who have little idea what the above has to do with them, I simply ask that you be on your guard.

Then, did anything interesting happen to the City during my three week absence? Or merely much of the same.
