4-2 Why Am I Sad?

(Ichigo... He was crying.)

(I don't understand. Ichigo and Mr. Tsukishima are best friends. So why did things turn out like this?)

(Mr. Tsukishima is the one I love.)

(For as long as I can remember, I've always looked up to him. He means everything to me, and I would sacrifice anything for Mr. Tsukishima.)

(That's how I've always felt. So then, why?)

(Why does it hurt me more to see Ichigo cry like that? I don't know why, but I can't stand it.)

(Please don't cry, Ichigo. It's tearing me apart! Please don't cry!)

(Ichigo...)

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

(Rukia! Renji! Toshiro! They all came here to stop Ichigo!)

Something's not right. Why is everyone up there standing behind Ichigo? I thought they all came to stop him.

But now, instead, it looks like they've come to defeat Ginjo!

What's the matter, you two?

Could it be you're having doubts about your past?

Why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me you've already forgotten all the memories we've shared.

Something's not right with me. I'm alive right now because of Mr. Tsukishima, so why am I having doubts? I believe in...

I believe in... I-I believe in Mr. Tsukishima. He's my true friend. He's always been!

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

Well, that was easier than I thought it'd be.

Thanks to your careless efforts to unsettle them, Mr. Tsukishima, we were easily able to come up behind and knock them unconscious. In the end, you did us a great favor.

Now that they've both been temporarily taken out of action, we won't have to worry about accidentally injuring them in the event of a confrontation.
