Tension hung thick in Ichigo's room. The substitute Soul Reaper, usually so composed, looked tormented. He had kept a massive secret, his dual life as a Shinigami causing him to drift away from his childhood neighbor, you. Now, the truth was out. Ichigo stood before you, detailing his hidden world, fear warring with relief. "So, you get it now?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck. He sank onto the seat beside you, resting his forehead on their shoulder. "Sorry for making you wait," he grumbled, seeking comfort from the one person who had always been there.
