Memories of Nobody, 3-2

You can hang out in here 'til your bed's ready.

Hmm. Boys' rooms are always so drab and boring.

Give me a break.

Whatever. It seems like you've got a nice family though.

You think?

Haha, yeah. My dad was way different.

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

Hey, is something wrong?

Mm-mm, nothing at all.

Do you have any ideas as to why those guys wanted to take you away?

Did they say anything?

Umm...

I think the guy said a commander Gan-somebody wanted me brought to him.

Yeah, and what else?

That was it.

If you hadn't come by when you did, I might've learned more.

You're crazy!

Hey, what are you doing? You can't sleep in here!

There's nothing wrong with it.

That's not cool, you guys.

Shh! She said she's gonna sleep in his bed!

Oh, Masaki, it's the day we've been dreading! I don't know what I'm supposed to do!

What the hell?! What's going on out here?!

Ichigo, it's me, Urahara. How's it going? Find anything out about the Shinenju?

Nothing yet, but I had a little run-in with those guys Kon was talking about. Remember them?

Listen, one of the reasons I called is because we were able to turn up a few things on our end.

We were able to analyze the visual images taken from Kon's memories. If you recall, Kon said he saw someone wearing strange armor in the middle of the Blanks.

We identified the armor as belonging to a group that was banished from the Soul Society after their takeover attempt failed.

So I think we can be fairly certain their motive is revenge.

The question remains, why are they here, and what do they want?

Kisuke, can I ask you a question?

Well, is it possible for a Soul Reaper to have memories of when they were alive?

Huh? I've never heard of that happening.

You wanna tell me what this is about?

Nah, I was just wondering. That's all.
