Man, I have laughed and cried over the course of this already. 517 days? Holy hell, Rukia, I'm counting too. We always see the world turn from Ichigo's perspective, and it's so wonderful that you're telling the hard story and showing us Rukia--in such a good way.

ARGH ARI WHY WHY WHY.

It's foolish. He's alive. She's alive. That's what counts.

WHY WHY WHY.

NO. NO. NO.

SO MANY FEELINGS. ;____________________________;

It's silly, it's so silly.

Curling to her side, Rukia sighs.

It's so silly to count.

Her pillow is damp in morning.

WHYYYYYY WHY WHY WHY. THE COUNTING. THE COUNTING. WHY WHY WHY. ;______________;

AND THEN STUPID BYAKUYA TAKING HER OUT TO DINNER. AND RENJI. CONVERSATIONS WITH ISSHIN.

"RUKIA-CHAN, I'M SO PROUD!" He crawls to her, but she moves towards the coffee, foot to his face. Rifles through the cupboard for her old Chappy mug. He doesn't seem to mind and heads to Ichigo's mom's poster. "MASAKI, LOOK AT OUR LOVELY THIRD DAUGHTER! A VICE-CAPTAIN! WHAT A JOYOUS DAY."
