2-5 A Trial Fit for a Nap

Are you listening, Mayuri Kurotsuchi?!

Stop turning away!

Oh, shut up. I could absorb all the information I need even if I were asleep, unlike you dunces.

Not that there's a single modicum of information here worth absorbing, anyway.

I don't care if you are the wise sages of the Central 46 or what have you, please refrain from forcing your values onto me. What a witless thing to do.

How dare you! Do you not comprehend where you stand?!

Where I stand? Of course I do.

Every second you waste on this farcical trial delays the scientific developments of the Soul Society. It truly pains my heart.

Wait, what's today's trial even for?

It's about that time Ichigo and the others first came here and a bunch of Squad 12's court guards got blown up.

That was ages ago, though. Or maybe they're beating up on the chief for those self-destruction measures to try and use him as a pawn by offering him a reduced sentence?

No sentence could scare him. Even if they send him to Muken, he'll just think it's a great opportunity to analyze the inmates there.

Don't you think you're eating too many snacks, Rin?

What? I'm not eating anything!

Hey, um, I came to help you finish your snacks because I heard you were busy!

Lieutenant Kusajishi? Where'd you come from?

What? Hollows?!

A whole bunch of them just appeared in the world of the living.

I'll go wake up Kenny!
