Shunsui

Are you lost, miss?

Roka

*Gasp*

You're from...back then.

Shunsui

Back when? Huh, have we met before? That's odd.

I don't think I'd ever forget a pretty girl like you.

Roka

Um, you're the one who was with Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, correct?

Shunsui

*Gasp*

Roka

Ah, um... I'm sorry, the scenery here was just so beautiful that I couldn't help but feel drawn to it.

I'll disappear right away, so please, pay me no mind.

Shunsui

(Kenpachi Kuruyashiki...)

(How did that girl know his name?)

Jushiro

Hey, Shunsui! What's going on? I thought I felt a Hollow's Spiritual Pressure for a second there.

Shunsui

Oh, it's no big deal. I'll explain it later along with the results of the Captain's Meeting.

More importantly, Old Man Yama gave us permission to have our Zanpakuto on us at all times and fully release them during battle.

(I really hope it's not a big deal, though.)

(I never expected to hear his name again. I shouldn't just chalk this up to mere coincidence.)

(It sounds like things are about to get real troublesome.)

Jushiro

What's wrong, Shunsui? Something on your mind?

Shunsui

Yeah, kind of. I just have a bad feeling about what's to come.
