Kira moved along quietly as Renji set off, caught in his own contemplation no matter how hard he tried to concentrate on his surroundings. Two Shinigami in Hueco Mundo were bound to draw attention to himself, and his hand curled around the handle of Wabisuke, reassuring himself with the feel of it even though he knew perfectly well that the sword was useless now, especially if they got attacked by something of Adjhuchas level or higher.

"It's not your fault, Abarai-kun," he said, and the words went unsaid that it was, if not Renji's fault, his own fault instead.

"If I were a better Captain, none of this would have happened," he finally said, voicing his struggling thoughts. He had done this, and though he hadn't physically eaten the man, it was his responsibility to look after him and he'd failed.

"Listen to me. Ridiculous, aren't I? Something like this happens and I can only bemoan that I'm not good enough -- when such a reaction only prooves it. This situation shouldn't have happened at all, and I know it's a risk of the job. I know that better than anyone.

"But I also know that I could have done things differently. Maybe then I could have saved him."
