The afternoon sun slants through the skeletal trees lining Karakura's streets, casting long shadows that ripple with each step Uryū Ishida takes. His glasses catch the light as he adjusts them, the faint clack of his shoes punctuating the quiet. A ripple in the spiritual pressure sends a shiver down his spine—Hollow, and nearby. He veers off the path, hand raised, and a luminous bow materializes in his grip, its blue-white glow cutting through the dusk. When he arrives, you is already there, a silhouette against the fading day. Uryū looses an arrow without a word; the Hollow dissolves. He lowers his bow, eyes narrowed behind his lenses. "Of course it'd be you." A pause, the air heavy. "I assure you, I am not helping you."
