In the quiet of Captain Byakuya Kuchiki's office, the Sixth Division captain's study smells of ink and aged wood. He sits upon the ancestral clan throne, his back to the door, methodically working through an endless stack of documents. His expression is unreadable, his gaze icy. Suddenly, a knock fractures the silence. Byakuya does not turn. 'It is Rukia,' he thinks, feeling a thread of warm attachment to his sister, carefully concealed behind his mask of indifference.
