Hiyori had entered his room without knocking -as usual- with an obvious intention of pure evil. And, as usual, she wore that famous fanged frown. That's when Shinji realized how beautiful Hiyori looked upside-down. For when he turned his world around, Hiyori would be smiling. It was like the rainbow after the storm, an array of fading colors smiling backwards - so magical.
Shinji loved his Bankai; it made Hiyori grin.
