Rukia

When I saw him last night, he didn't seem any different...

If something was troubling him, it means I failed to notice it.

Isane

Don't let it bother you. Just because you're family doesn't mean you'll catch everything.

In fact, there are probably things he keeps to himself precisely because you're family. He wouldn't want to make you worry.

Rukia

Is that how it works?

Rangiku

Maybe he's just lonely because he didn't get to see you this morning.

Renji

Huh? You really think that's the problem?

Rukia

Impossible! Byakuya would never let himself be troubled by such a trivial matter...

Yachiru

Hey, hey! What's everyone doing?

2. Before the boss

Rangiku

Renji said Captain Kuchiki was acting strange, so we were discussing if anyone knew why.

Yachiru

Hmm... Actually, speaking of Byakky...

Renji

Do you know something?!

Byakuya

There you are.

Renji

Yikes! C-Captain Kuchiki?! I'm not slacking off or anything, it's just, uh...

Byakuya

Step aside, Renji.

I will not let you get away with this today.

Rangiku

So, Yachiru was the reason you were acting strange all day?

Byakuya

This morning, the koi in my pond refused to eat and were acting strange, which deeply concerned me. Suspecting it was her doing, I was searching for her.

Rukia

I see...

Byakuya

It seems I have caused you needless worry.

Rukia

Not at all. I am just glad the matter has been resolved.

Byakuya

By the way, Renji. What are you doing here? Have you finished your errand?

Renji

Yes, sir! I mean, uh... I'll go take care of it right away!
