5-1...

If you can faint from hunger, then that obviously means that you have it, right? ...The power.

So, you have it too?

Yes, just like you.

My name is Gin. I'm pleased to meet you.

Gin? What a strange name.

So, you're finally awake.

Captain, I...

I, uh... I've been asleep a long time, haven't I?

It's not as if she were being threatened with execution, so why would...?

There's only one explanation that makes any sense.

Rangiku.

Yes?

You're to go home. That's an order.

I only hope I'm in time to save Momo!

When I first read the Captain's letter, I couldn't believe my eyes.

How could something like that possibly be true? I didn't want to believe it.

But now I know. It is true. Everything he wrote was true.
