[You'd be surprised, Xion. In the Rukongai, children and infants as small as she was when she'd been sent there didn't remember their birthdays, so they ended up creating new ones for themselves.

Rukia appears at the tall, ivy-matted gate and gestures for the girl to come over. Her brother had okayed Xion visiting the gardens, on the condition of course that she left a minimal impact on whatever she touched. Which, for her brother, was remarkably generous. And with Rukia's vow that everything would be fine, the head of the Kuchiki Clan had nodded and walked away without a word.]

Xion-san, over here!

[Xion hurries over, but nervously. She hasn't met Rukia's brother, so being in his garden kind of makes her nervous.]

A-Are you sure it's okay?

I talked with Nii-sama, its fine. Come on, the flowers are beautiful today!

[memoryshell]

Okay. Lead the way.
