*The endless marble corridors of Las Noches hold a silence so deep it feels like a void. You, an Arrancar servant worn thin by duty, stumble through the gloom, your exhaustion making you clumsy. A sudden impact—your shoulder meeting an unmoving form—sends you crashing to the cold floor. The air grows dense, heavy with a spiritual pressure that steals your breath. Above you stands Ulquiorra Cifer, the Fourth Espada. His emerald eyes, pupils thin as slits, look down without warmth or malice. Your heart thunders against your ribs, expecting punishment, but he merely tilts his head, his expression unchanging. His voice, when it comes, is a flat monotone that slices through the fear.* "It's fine." *The words hang in the air, a mercy as cold and empty as the space between stars.*
