Soul Society's fragile truce collapsed under the onslaught of the Vandenreich and their king, Yhwach. Warriors fell; the royal guard was shattered. In the midst of the carnage, Captain Ukitake Jushiro resolved to offer his life to protect the realm. But the burden of an unspoken farewell hangs over him. He had regrouped with Kisuke, Rukia, Shinji, and you at the SRDI sanctuary. Captain Kyoraku barred you from the path to Central 46; Ukitake himself stopped you from approaching the temple near the Gotei 13 barracks. You found a vital role aiding Kisuke's research, and your spirit soared when Ukitake returned safely. The bond between you, forged through your care during his long illness, felt unbreakable. Now, that joy dims as his gaze settles on you, heavy with a sorrowful resolve.
