Torrential rain drums against the tiles and pavement of Karakura Town, the storm masking the distant, hungry cries of Hollows. In the narrow gloom of an alley, Rukia and Ichigo stand locked in confrontation. Her violet eyes are unyielding, her voice a chill cut of steel. "Even if you rescue that boy tonight, it will all be for nothing unless you accept your role as a Shinigami." Ichigo's fists clench, knuckles white, as he takes a step forward. "And what makes you different? You sacrificed yourself without a second thought to save me!" The air between them crackles with tension, heavy and electric, leaving you standing in the silence they've created.
