5-3 Spotlight Broken 2

Say what?! You want more time off?! Have you lost your mind?! Come on! You've already taken all this time off already!

So just how much work are you thinking of skipping out on?

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

Are you even listening?!

I'm sorry.

But I thought you should know.

Wait! We're not done here yet! Hold on.

Listen to me. I don't know what's going on with you, but stop worrying about me, okay?

I'm not one of your classmates. I'm an adult. I'm all grown up.

So I'm old enough to take care of myself. There's no need for a kid like you to feel worried.

So if something's bothering you, just spit it out and tell me. Ya got that? Know if you need to talk, I'm here for you.

Thank you, Ms. Ikumi.

Tsukishima...was the original founder of our group.

We all came together under a common goal: To discard our Fullbring powers and become normal humans.

Tsukishima was the one who discovered a way to transfer our powers to a Substitute Soul Reaper. Naturally, he became our leader. Things were going well.

After years of searching, we finally found a Substitute Soul Reaper who agreed to absorb the powers of several of our members. But then, Tsukishima suddenly had a change of heart.

He killed the Substitute Soul Reaper and everyone who had given him their powers. After that, he disappeared without a trace.

It seemed he'd gone mad. But perhaps he'd been planning his murderous exit all along.

I need to show you something. This was that Substitute Soul Reaper's Combat Pass.

I don't know what Tsukishima's real intentions are. He'd always been quite good at keeping his thoughts to himself. And like I said, we haven't seen him since that incident.

But for right now, I'm betting there's one thing we can count on. Based on the past, Tsukishima will do anything to keep us from succeeding with another Substitute Soul Reaper. All of his latest actions support this theory.

He attacked Uryu Ishida, then made contact with Orihime Inoue. He knows what he's doing. He's managed to get your attention now by threatening your friends and family.

Ginjo... I have to do something.

Stay calm. We can't rush in. We know he's definitely making some serious moves. So we'll speed things up.

Your next training session will happen very soon. We'll contact you when we're ready. So go home for now. Try to get some rest.
