It's a little uncomfortable, seeing people's minds. I'm sorry if I happened to see yours, before I learned to look away.

Have you ever been somewhere that's so, um, full of memories that you want to... not be there? That's a real question.Anyway, if you can't find me, I'm probably on

You picked a good spot to get away from things, though.

I'm sorry! That's very distracting!

How did you survive that? I don't know many people who could. Really, maybe just... [the Abyssals, and Deneve and Galatea?] Five. And then me.
...
And you! Do you regenerate? I didn't think Shingami did that, much since Kenpachi was so surprised that I do. And--
[WAIT, BACK UP.]
Do you mean someone saved you? Do you know who it was?

Out of curiosity, what do you know about Shinigami? I mean, I know some things, but I was dumped into this job without any sort of training and Rukia's explanations are always accompanied by bad drawings so they're hard to understand, but the rest of 'em aren't terribly inclined to explain things to me because I'm not "official"... and I don't want to bore you with anything you might already know.

Well, I know there's some kind of spiritual energy. And... I know a little about their hierarchy. Kaien made a barrier around the headquarters, once?

I guess I never asked that much. But Kaien did say he turned into a monster before he died.

...that's kind of a lot to think about.
Oh! I know a little about Hollows. Kaien told me about them when I told him about the yoma!

...what's yoma?

And once they eat someone, they can absorb that person's memory, and take that person's shape. And then they just with those people... their families, their friends... eating whoever they want. And no one can tell who they are, because they copy that person perfectly so unless you can sense their yoki power it's impossible to know which is which.
It was my job to find them and kill them. Me and... people like me. You can tell who we are, because we're all blond and have silver eyes.
We used to be human, too! But now we're... I guess part yoma. But we don't eat people! Actually, we barely eat at all.

...no, wait... there was one that did, sort of. Grand Fisher had a lure on its head that could look like the people it killed... because it tried to throw me off by taking my mom's face.

He... what?
That... that is... unforgivable.

See, I can see ghosts and spirits and all that stuff. I've always been able to, but because I leak reiatsu, Hollows were drawn to me and I put my entire family in danger without even realizing it. It was going to hurt my sister... so I took Rukia up on her offer and ran myself through with her sword. I wound up taking all of her power from her, but she gave me the strength I needed to save Yuzu...
