Thank you, Rukia... Because of you, the rain has stopped falling.

When young people grow up....they shine so much that old people want to avert their gaze.

Never admit defeat and ask for a quick death! Die first, then admit defeat! If you are defeated but didn't die, it just means you were lucky! At those times, think only about survival! Survive and think only about killing the one who failed to kill you!

I know that. What's your point?

People have hope because they cannot see Death standing behind them.

Hearts, you say? You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. But this eye of mine perceives all. There is nothing that it overlooks. If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"? If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? If I smash open that skull of yours, will I see it there?

Thank you, Rukia... Because of you, the rain has stopped falling.
