If....if I'd been stronger......

.....hadn't hesitated...hadn't....hadn't been so weak.....

I could have done something, could......could have stopped it, could have found some other way....

.......he wouldn't have had to die......

Rukia... I'm sorry.
It wasn't your fault.

Yes it was, Taichou.....

If I'd been stronger, more knowledgeable..... I would have been able to do something. Change something, just....

He wouldn't have had to die!

It was not your responsibility, Rukia. It was mine.
I should have been able to kill him as soon as I knew there was nothing that could save him. But I couldn't.

...I never wanted you to be forced to do such a thing.
If I hadn't failed you... you wouldn't have to feel like this.

Yes it was. It's what shinigami do. We fight hollows. No matter what. I...I shouldn't have hesitated.
