"I'm sorry Rukia! Okay? I've said I'm sorry like a thousand times already! Why won't you forgive me?! It was a mistake okay. I realized I've screwed up, big time. But it was a mistake, It won't ever happen again! Rukia, just please pick up! We can talk about this. Please. Just pick up.. I won't give up you know! I'll fight for you. I will never give up on you.. But I can see that you need some time. So i'll give you time. But just don't forget that I'm here for you. Okay? Don't ever forget that! (Ichigo signs) Bye."

Somewhere in a hidden place, Rukia was sitting, listening to the messenger that Ichigo left for her on repeat as she cried herself to sleep.
