[Tousen dictates, his voice sounding a little huskier than usual.] ... It appears that I have neglected to give a measure of thanks to those who saved my life. [...] I thank you, then, sincerely.
[Shinigami and Ryoka]
I have sensed you, Shinigami and Ryoka alike. While I have no wish to engage in any confrontation at this time, I will remind you that I still have not forgotten my purpose, even in this foreign place. Though it will bring this world more unnecessary bloodshed, if you give me a reason to force my hand, I will not hesitate to treat you with the same courtesy. In the name of peace, I will back down, so long as you can find it within your consciences to do the same.
[/Shinigami and Ryoka]
