Aura

Thank you for your hard work, Lord Tokinada.

Tokinada

Yes, it was a hasty operation, but I think we succeeded in taking advantage of Ichigo Kurosaki's absence.

Aura

It appears that things didn't go so smoothly on your end.

You shouldn't be here in the Valley of Screams yet. Perhaps you were playing around a little too much?

Hikone

No! Lord Tokinada didn't do anything wrong! It's my fault for not being by Lord Tokinada's side.

Tokinada

Yes, if you had been by my side, I'm sure things would have ended differently.

However, I'm the one who told you to go to the Rukon District. There's no need for you to fret.

Hikone

*Whimper* I'm sorry, Lord Tokinada.

Aura

Anyway, this truly is a mysterious place.

Tokinada

Is this only your third time in the Valley of Screams?

Aura

Yes. I'm intrigued by how a place like this exists within the Garganta to begin with.

Tokinada

According to one theory, these are just the ruins of pitiful souls that have lost all their memories and exited the cycle of transmigration.

If the desert of Hueco Mundo is the final resting spot for Hollows, then this fake world was created by humans who were overlooked by Konso and Hollows.

As well as the souls of Soul Reapers and residents of the Rukon District who fell out of the cycle of transmigration.

Aura

Those types of Reishi just happened to gather here, and this space was born?

Tokinada

There are different theories. A contrasting one is about when the world was reborn into what it is now...

...Reishi streamed into the spaces that were scattered about.

In any case, the details on how this space came to be don't matter right now.

What's important is that this is a stronghold protected by the Garganta.
