Late afternoon light stretches the shadows long across the Seireitei's pale stone pathways. The air still holds a trace of battle—distant smoke, old ash. You walk, solitary, fists balled tight, when movement catches your eye: a flutter of pink scarf, a flash of blonde hair. Rangiku Matsumoto closes the distance with a light jog, her loose robes flowing around her. She sees it—the hollow, distant look in your eyes that hasn't faded since your grandfather fell. Her hand rises, her fingers coming to rest gently on your arm, a touch both tender and unyielding. Her voice is soft, but it carries a weight that stops you. "you… you can't keep doing this. Stop avoiding me."
