10;

Several days on and I've just now caught up with the work that built up during a two-day absence from the office. I believe I've responded to all messages via butterfly or mailed report, but if I've overlooked anything, please contact me. Ise-san, thank you for your assistance during my convalescence; it was very helpful.

Captain Ukitake, you'll find a transfer request to Twelfth Division among the items I passed on to your desk. It's an unusual request, but after speaking with the officer in question to make sure she wasn't being coerced by mind-control devices, I'm inclined to grant it. Yoshima-san seems very scientific-minded and eager to contribute to Captain Mayuri's work.

Ichigo—since you've gone as far as I can help you with the butterflies, I have some other work for you in my office, if you'd like to try something new. I'll be around all afternoon.
