The Rotator

I would like to assure everyone that Aizen's closure of the senkaimon has been verified and is effective. There's no need to test it by taking a running start and crashing headfirst into a barrier, as at least two of you have tried already.

Shinigami remain on-assignment and in the living world; they will continue to do their jobs, so I suggest that everyone still in Soul Society focus on doing yours.

Ichigo and Kensei, I had planned to retrieve some fresh reading material from the living world in order to make your convalescence more tolerable, but it seems I'll have to make do with the manga I have on hand. I'll stop by this afternoon to drop it off.

Renji, you owe me dinner.

It goes without saying that none of you are responsible for Aizen's actions, if you were stupidly considering feeling guilty.

Seireitei has been officially stabilized, for now, though there's plenty of work to be done. The extra duty on the updated schedules is mandatory, but so are the off-hours; we've lost a few people, and we don't need to lose any more to sheer exhaustion.

I'm requesting that other divisions share their current statuses and injured rosters so we can arrange adjusted assignments to the living world in order to compensate. The souls there still need to be looked after.

What a wonderful birthday.

Sir, please look after yourself. I've been keeping track of how little you've slept worried. You especially should take the time to rest now that we've enough time to relax.
