8-2...

What... What happened here? Everyone in Central 46... They're all dead! Every one of them.

Toshiro was here, but he was surprised somehow... Izuru was here too, but then...for some reason Toshiro followed him away from here.

None of this makes any sense. If Toshiro killed Captain Aizen, does that mean he's the one who did this, too?

Unless... Unless it was Izuru!

So if Toshiro didn't do this, what about Captain Aizen?

Welcome, Momo. What a pleasure to see you.

Captain Ichimaru? What are you doing here?

Just come with me. Heheh.

But this is...the Seijoto Kyorin...

These are the living quarters of Central 46.

I don't understand... Why would you bring me here? Captain Ichimaru, please.

So, how many times have you visited this place, Momo?

I never have. I'm not allowed. This area is completely off-limits to me. This is the first time.

There's someone here I'd like you to meet.

Who would wanna meet me? And...why?

You'll see.

No need to be shy. Look behind you.

Behind me?

Ah!

Captain Aizen...

I've missed seeing you... Momo.

Captain Aizen, I don't believe it. Is it really you? All this time I thought you were dead.

I know you did, and I'm sorry.

You really are alive, aren't you, Captain Aizen. And I thought that... I thought that... I... I didn't know what to think.

You've become so thin.

I'm sorry, Momo. I'm sorry my actions caused you so much pain.

But you understand, don't you Momo? You're the only one who could understand.

There was a task that needed to be handled. In order to do that, I had to fake my own death.

It's alright, everything's alright.

None of that makes any difference now. As long as you're alive and back home where you belong.

Thank you, Momo.

I'm a fortunate man to have you as a subordinate.

Thank you, Momo, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you...

And goodbye.

What have you done? Why?

Let's go, Gin.

Yes. As you wish, Captain Aizen.
