2-2 Safety

There you have it, sir. That is my full report.

I see.

Your unauthorized intervention was a serious violation, Squad 10 Captain Shiba. That said, your quick and decisive action helped prevent further casualties to the squad and damage to the World of the Living.

Therefore... I shall overlook your contravention of the rules this time.

Yes! Uh, I mean, thank you very much, sir!

Hmpf. If you ask me, your most grave offense was your failure to retrieve the remains of this "mystery Hollow," as you call it.

Captain Shiba... Your report is rather complete, as far as describing this unusual Hollow, but I had been wondering if there might be something else you left out.

Are you absolutely certain that nothing else worthy of note occurred, that you might've forgotten to mention?

No, sir. There's nothing else.

(I guess the rumors about there still being some Quincies alive are actually true.)

(It took guts for her to step in and save me. And even more to tell me that she's a Quincy, knowing that I'm a Soul Reaper.)

(She's quite a girl, that one. I didn't even really thank her properly.)

(Maybe I should go back and try to get to know her better.)

(I hope that Soul Reaper made it back to the Soul Society all right. And that he didn't get in trouble for helping me.)

(I wish I'd at least gotten his name.)

Oh! I'm so sorry!

Oh, don't give it a second thought. As long as you're okay, I'm okay.

Hn?!
