Aizen

The reason is because you're a human and-

(I'm human and what?)

(The rest of what he said was drowned out by the noise. I thought I'd lost my chance to hear it.)

(But I was wrong. I never needed to hear his words.)

(Because right before my eyes, the answer soon appeared.)

The reason is because you're a human and-

Ichigo

Dad? Is that...you?

Isshin

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

Ichigo

Hey, say something. Dad?

Ahh-gah! Wh-What the hell?!!!

Isshin

Heh.

Aizen

Keeping his distance.

A wise decision.

Ichigo

Mmmhhhh!!!

Mmmhh-nhhh-hhh!!!

Isshin

Shut up! I know what you want to ask! Be quiet or I'll-

Hrngh!

Ichigo

I know that I have to be quiet, you idiot! I was yelling at you because I couldn't breathe!

Isshin

Oh, sorry.

There's gotta be a ton of things you want to ask me about, but to tell the truth-

Ichigo

No, not really.

There's nothing I want to ask.

You probably had your reasons for not telling me about everything. You had problems you didn't want to talk about.

There's no good way for me to ask you about them, and I don't want to rip your heart out with questions right now. I'm sure one day we'll get around to it.

I can wait...until you feel like telling me about it all. Whenever you decide that the time is right.

You can choose when we'll have our little conversation.

Isshin

Sounds like you've matured. Seems you've learned to be more patient.
