"Do you remember this tree? This is where we had our first date. So long ago…I need to let you know you were the most precious thing in my life." Ichigo stood under a large Oak Tree in the park, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I wish that I could have been more than just your boyfriend…I can't believe this happened to us. What did you do to deserve this! I'm the one who killed people! I'm the one who broke the laws! It isn't fair…you were the most kindhearted person I've ever met, you cared about everyone, and everything…" Ichigo was standing under the tree holding a white urn. All his friends were standing around him, with tears in their eyes as well. Rukia, Renji, Chad, Uryuu, Tatsuki, Keigo, Yuzu, Karin, Ichigo's dad, and the rest of his friends from high school, were standing around him in black clothes. "I wish there was a way to switch places with you…If anyone deserved to die…it would be me." Everyone was completely silent listening to the words he was saying…Tatsuki collapsed to her knees and started to cry uncontrollably. "You did nothing wrong…you tried to help, and what did you get? Three…Three bullets to the chest…Why did you try to stop them…I killed them...after you got shot… They just wanted my wallet…you decided to confront them, and you got shot…I'm sorry…Orihime…I was going to ask you to marry me soon." He pulled a white box out of his pocket and opened it to reveal a simple diamond ring. "I guess I'm a bit too late, huh? But I don't care… Orihime Inoue…will you marry me? You don't need to answer…It would have been yes. I love you. Goodbye." He dug a hole next to the tree, and dumped the ashes into the hole. He took the ring out of the box, kissed it and set it in the ashes. He buried the ashes and ring and stood back up. "Goodbye."
