[ Honestly, it seems like more of the city had collapsed into a bed after the sun rose on that sixth day. Rukia, Ichigo, and Shiro were all asleep in his room, Lior and Ace passed out like logs in Ichigo's father's bedroom ( or what used to be Isshin's bedroom ) and of course Rapunzel across the hall in the Twin's bedroom.

Most of the stragglers had returned to their various homes, and the cleanup from that many people crammed into a small space had been underway for a while. In fact, they were almost done now. Ichigo was in the kitchen, wiping down countertops that had been caught in the stampede of Shiro; the miniature menace, when he heard sounds from down the hall. Knocking twice on Rapunzel's door, he peeks his head in. ]

...Hey. You awake in here?

[holeheart]

[Sleep was something everyone needed, it seemed like. The three of them slept for what seemed like forever, curled up together on Ichigo's bed, while their guests slumbered away in their respective rooms... and there were probably still a few people in the downstairs clinic area still, as well. The clinic had never been more full as it had been during that week and subsequent days.

Shiro is actually helping to clean, for once... mostly because he was the one responsible. He had vague memories of it, but the little chocolate lizardy footprints that had dried to the floor really cemented it. So he's mopping.

But he stops when he feels one of the energies in the clinic stir, and awaken... and it felt slightly... panicked? Unlike Ichigo, he had an excellent Reiatsu sense, and he was keenly in tune with those hanging out in HIS territory.] Hm?

[he trails behind Ichigo, peeking in under his arm]

[Rukia...slept. Slept a lot, slept still. She'd barely rested in that long night, and she paid for her overexertion by sleeping for hours after the boys had woken up and started their clean up of the clinic. A tiny little bundle under Ichigo's sheets, barnacled around a spare pillow in lieu of her bedmates.

But the stir of energy and the sound of someone crying across the hall was enough to finally pull her out of her murky dreams of the drone of wings. Slipping out of the bed, she padded over to the other side of the hall where the boys were standing in the doorway, yawning and her hair a fly away mess.]

Rapunzel-san?

[Through her sobs, Rapunzel heard the voices of others, people she ignored. She didn't deserve their concern. Not to mention she was so embarrassed. But then she heard Ruika's voice and finally looked up. Her eyes were full of tears, and at the sight of her they rolled down her cheeks.]

I... I'm sorry. [She spoke in barely a whisper, too ashamed of herself to say anything else. Her hair fell in front of her face and she didn't even bother to push it away. She wanted to hide right now.]
