Momo

Is that really you, Tobiume? I really missed you.

Tobiume

Not me. I was glad to get away from you.

Momo

What? When we were united, you were always there for me when I needed you the most.

We always trusted each other, didn't we?

Tobiume, I'm taking you back with me.

Tobiume

I refuse. I'm stronger on my own. I cannot continue to stay with someone as weak as you are.

Well, aren't you going to attack?

Momo

............

Tobiume

You believe I'll come back to you by just standing there, staring at me with that pathetic look on your face?

How can you always think that everything is going to work itself out without you doing anything about it?

You can't harm a fly. People walk all over you and you don't even say a single thing.

You'll be waiting forever if you believe that guy will come back and beg for your forgiveness. He doesn't want to be around you either, 'cause you're weak.

Momo

Gh.

Tobiume

Come back here!

You're always turning your back on reality! Admit to what happened!

Momo

What are you getting at?

Tobiume

You have been betrayed by the person you trusted the most.

I couldn't say anything at the time, but I was right there watching as it happened.

It's frustrating!

Momo

I see.

Tobiume

I can't stand seeing this. If you keep this up, you'll end up destroying yourself, even with me trying to help you.

Momo

You're quite harsh. Tell me... Tell me what to do.

Tobiume

You need me to help you. I want to put you to sleep forever, you poor little thing.

Momo

Put me to sleep?

Tobiume

Oh, sorry. I forgot. You've already been asleep for some time now.

Momo

Urgh!

Tobiume

Does it hurt? Well, what you're feeling now, that is the pain of reality. It's nothing like the naïve world you live in. Reality is harsh and painful.

I'll help to change your mind.

There's one more thing I want to tell you. All of those so-called friends of yours that you trust? That's all just a big joke.

To be honest, none of them are really your friends at all. They're just pretending to be your friends because it's a part of their jobs.

For instance, there's Rangiku Matsumoto. It's obvious that she only cares about herself. She couldn't care less about what you're struggling with. Really, is she paying any attention to you now?

Momo

Hmph.

Tobiume

Ahh?! Let go!

Rangiku

Hado 31: Shakkaho!

Haineko

Ahhh?!

That hurt!

Haineko

Hey! Stop pushing against me, will you?!

Tobiume

You really think I'm the one in control here? It's not me doing-

Rangiku

We sure showed them!

Momo

I hope they paid attention!

Haineko

What are you saying, old lady?

Tobiume

You mean you planned this from the beginning?

Rangiku

And it worked, too. Do you really think I'd ever take anything a spoiled brat like you said seriously?

Momo

We knew in order to go up against our own Zanpakuto powers, we needed to find a way to catch you both off guard.

Rangiku

We knew if we split you two up and got you paying attention to us individually, defeating you would be easy.

You two deserve each other.
