Rukia.
Have you ever heard our captain's view on life?
Not really, no.
In his opinion, there are two types of battles in this world. He says there are battles to defend your life, and battles to defend your pride.
That makes sense, right? Seems like a fairly clear separation.
But personally, Rukia, I don't believe that's quite accurate because in the final analysis, you end up defending the exact same thing.
The same thing? What would that be?
Your heart, of course.
Uh...
Please, get real.
Do what?! I'm being serious here! Show some respect!
Rukia, let me ask you something. From your experience, where do you think your heart is?
Mm... Hmm... Uh... Well, if I had to guess, I think it's somewhere in the chest. Isn't that right?
Heh, if you want to be literal about it. But in my opinion, it's more a state of mind.
I believe it's right here... Not inside our bodies at all.
I think a heart is created between people when they meet for the first time. A bond that's brought to life between individuals.
It's an emotional connection. When you think about something, or care about someone, that's where your heart is born.
If you were the only person who existed in this world, your heart would have no way of forming so it just wouldn't be anywhere.
I remember clearly. Those were the exact words Kaien said to me.
But listen, Rukia. In the fights to come, there's something I must warn you about, something you must promise me you will never, ever do. I mean this.
You must never die alone.
Our souls are our bodies. And when we die, our bodies turn to dust and become the Reishi that go on to form the Soul Society.
But where do our hearts go?
Hm?
We entrust our hearts to our friends.
If you entrust your heart to your friends, it will continue to live on, inside them.
But thanks to you, I'm saved.
Now I can still leave my heart here.
That's the most important thing you'll learn from my training. Don't you dare die alone, Rukia.
Promise me this. You will never die alone.
Sannomai...
...Shirafune.
Impossible...
Ngg...
I finally remembered...where his heart resides.
You see, I was entrusted with his heart!
Farewell, Espada!
I've known loneliness.
The loneliness of one who's been locked away.
And I've known happiness. The happiness felt when your friends come to rescue you.
And I've known something else. I've known terror. The terror of seeing those very friends injured and defeated.
Don't worry, Orihime.
I'm coming...to save you.
