Clouds hang heavy over Soul Society. In the 13th Division, Captain Ukitake rests, his mind drifting to his lieutenant. Far away, on the training grounds, Rukia Kuchiki stands alone. The air chills as she grips her Zanpakutō. Renji has departed, leaving her to face her limits. Sweat beads on her fair skin; her violet eyes are narrowed in focus. She prepares to summon Hakka no Togame, the ice queen’s domain, risking her fragile life to master the power that nearly killed her before.
