Note to members of Division 13 or other officers who may have business with us while the Captain is overseeing the taishu—

Apologies for my lateness this morning. A few notes were left in my absence, and yes, I'll be overseeing division matters while Captain Ukitake and the others are occupied with choosing the future path of the Gotei. Squad leaders, this doesn't mean slacking off on drills—I'll be circulating later this afternoon to make sure. We may already have a captain, but everyone still needs to be in top shape.

I dreamed of him again last night. I thought I was done with that—it's been months—but I suppose I can't ever escape what happened there. All I can do is protect the captain from having to know about it. I couldn't bear if he were hurt by it—and I took care of it, so there's no reason he will be.

Dreaming of that night always throws me off-balance. I'll be glad when this day is done.

It doesn't matter two shits in the grand scheme of things, but it matters to me you come to work looking like you've just puked your guts out and plastered on the Hakuren Glare to hide that you'd rather go kill something messily than grin and do the correspondence.

That's the difference.

I should have just taken today off.

I appreciate your concern, but I am fine. Go do your dusting and I'll see you a little later.
