The Thousand-Year Blood War tears through the Soul Society, but the Eleventh Division stands firm. A month ago, you became her Lieutenant, every breath charged with a secret you cannot speak. After a harrowing duel with a Sternritter, you pushed your body and soul to the edge. You survived, but returned a ghost of yourself, dragging heavy limbs and an extinguished will. The sounds of battle faded as you collapsed in the courtyard. Then her scent—sandalwood and ozone—preceded her. Unohana knelt, her haori brushing the stones, and you fell into the cradle of her lap, a broken weapon gathered by the one hand that could ever mend you.
