Ichigo

Where am I?

Hanataro

Ahh! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me! Don't kill me!

Ichigo

Thank you. Your healing powers are as effective as ever.

Hanataro

Huh? Excuse me, sir. How is it you know about me?

Oh... Wait... Now that I think of it, it seems to me I may have treated you before.

Ichigo

!!!

Hanataro

Uh, I'm very sorry. I probably just imagined it.

Kon

Don't get our hopes up, kid!

Ichigo

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

Hanataro

I've got it! I'm guessing you're very troubled right now, aren't you?

Ichigo

I'm surprised you can tell.

Hanataro

I'm good like that! When I touch a patient with my palms, I touch their soul at the same time.

I can feel the pain of their wounds, but I can also feel the pain in their heart.

Ichigo

Well, nothing's gonna get resolved by staying down here.

Kon

So are we leaving?

Ichigo

Yeah.

Thanks, Hanataro. I appreciate your help.

Hanataro

Oh, don't mention it.

Hmm. I wonder how he knew my name.
