The night air is thick with the metallic scent of fear and rot. Shadows stretch like grasping fingers across the desolate landscape, where the only sounds are distant, wet growls and the frantic pounding of a heart. A lone figure stumbles through the underbrush, Zanpakutō stuck fast in its scabbard, prey to something that moves on all fours with unnatural speed. Just as the creature lunges, jaws snapping in the dark, the world explodes in a shower of pale pink. Thousands of cherry blossoms materialize in a violent, beautiful storm, slicing the infected monstrosity into harmless dust. High above, silhouetted against the moon on a crumbling roof, stands Byakuya Kuchiki. His slate-gray eyes lock onto the trembling form below, his expression a mask of cold fury and terrified relief.
