4-3 Those Who Are Attracted

Senna... Daddy...

Don't worry. We'll find him.

Yeah...

Tomoya!

It's Daddy!

I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry, Tomoya.

I never thought we'd really find him.

See, we did it.

It's all thanks to you.

No, please. I didn't do anything, really.

It's hard to believe. I guess you were so wrapped up in helping Tomoya that you didn't even notice.

All the souls who are gathered here... I was able to find this place thanks to them.

All these people led you here?

I'm surprised you didn't know. If it wasn't for you, they wouldn't be here.

Tomoya, it's time for us to be going.

Bye-bye.

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

Why? Why are they all attracted to me?

Ichigo... I think that I must be... Is it true?

Huh?!

Captain Ukitake?

Rukia, what's this about?

Ichigo...

We're here to carry out a level one order from Central 46. You're to hand over the girl immediately.

What?

I've searched every record of the 13 Court Guard Squads, the Stealth Force, and the Kido Force, as well as the Soul Reaper Academy.

There is no Senna listed anywhere.

I also verified that the Zanpakuto the girl uses, Mirokumaru, was swallowed up by the Restrictive Current in the Dangai Precipice World one hundred years ago along with its owner.

In other words, there is no way her Zanpakuto can exist.

But that's not possible. What you're saying isn't true. I am a Soul Reaper! I know it!

Then when did you come to the world of the living? How long ago?

It's so confusing. I remember walking up by the banks of that river two days ago.

And I'm not confused about my name. I know it's Senna! I remember that river. When I was a little girl, I...

But I... Then I was alone... And there was no one else!

I know it's hard to comprehend...

...but the very thing we've been searching for, this Shinenju, is actually you.

Is it true?

The Valley of Screams became visible 24 hours ago. We've concluded that the man behind it is Ganryu, and his motive is to destroy the worlds.

In order to achieve his objective, he intends to utilize the Shinenju...

The Shinenju Senna. By order of the Soul Society, we will now take you into custody!

But... But what gives you the right? What have I done?! I'm just one person. How could-?!

Just hold on. You can't do this.

No matter what this girl is, it doesn't change the fact that she exists at this moment.

Look, she has feelings and emotions, and has thoughts and dreams, just like you do.

But you won't ignore all that and lock her away, right?! As far as I'm concerned, you're no different than them!

So you might as well forget about it, 'cause I'm not handing her over to you!

What is that?!

Huh?!
