What was wrong with her? Why couldn't she couldn't keep up with-

No.

She could keep up. And that was the problem.

Every strike. Every kick. Every hit.

It was like her fight with Lady Yoruichi. She was able to keep up. She knew every move. Every strike if his sword.

And as with Lady Yoruichi, she had the same feeling inside of her. That feeling threw her off, made it possible for him to land those hits.

That feeling...meant nothing.

She was born in the Soul Society. That's what she told herself as she struck him down.

She had no reason to feel nostalgic while fighting this man.

She had no other life from where this feeling would come from.
