1. Before the battle
5 linesIt's useless, you can't reach me. You can't even control your nerves.
Impossible!
You can see me, right?
The cells in your body may be inactive at below-freezing temperatures. However, your nerves are still active!
And Tatar Foras takes advantage of that by instilling fear in your optic nerves!
2. After the battle
7 linesYes, look! Everywhere you turn, you will see my eyes. Your nerves cannot escape them!
Closing your eyes won't help you. The happy memories you hold in your heart may last for a time, but bad memories last even longer!
Just as past traumas return as nightmares in the dark of night, a fear, once experienced, will resonate that much stronger in the depths of your brain when you close your eyes!
Now... I shall burn your soul away in the fire of your past fears!
Kyaaah!
Hng!
You! Byakuya Kuchiki!
