*Sigh* Look at the mess you've made.
You haven't changed at all since those days.
What are you trying to say?
Oh, it's nothing, really.
Just...
...I wonder what she would say if she were still around.
You...!
2. Before the boss
8 linesDamn...
(I am determined to become strong. Stronger than anyone else.)
(If I'm going to fight the strongest foe, there can't be anyone else stronger than me.)
You amaze me. Even after becoming an Espada, you're still just a child.
It's because you are much weaker than I am.
Those with the ability to reason must have a purpose to fight. You lack a purpose.
You are still a beast. I cannot acknowledge you as a true warrior.
Haaaahhhh!!!

............
What do you want? Your work is already finished here, Szayelaporro.
Why the sudden cold shoulder? I thought you and I were allies, joining forces to meet our goals.
I don't remember us ever joining forces. I took advantage of you. That's all there was to it.
Cooperation is forged out of common interests because it has benefits for both parties.
So philosophical. Makes me want to puke.
............
Let's go.
I don't think you can give me orders.
Is that so? You're not even an Espada.
?!
............
Did she just...turn into a child?
Fascinating. I've never seen such a phenomenon.
Hah!
Look at you now, Nelliel! In a body that suits you perfectly! Hahahaha!
But on the other hand, I suppose that's the last time our swords will ever cross.
That really is a shame.
