Summary: Uryuu and Nemu start to grow into their new relationship. Everything is going smoothly until Karakura comes under attack.

The old man stood in the driving rain, watching as the shinigami appeared before him in the gloom. Behind him, the men stood ready, row upon row dressed in white. In times past, this high mountain campground had served as a meeting place for the annual gathering of the clan. Those had been joyous times, when families renewed bonds, new techniques were discussed and practiced, and marriages were arranged for the young. It would never be used for that purpose again. Today, it was being used as a lure. And a battleground. As the clan chief, he had told them that any who wished to leave with their family would be allowed to do so with no shame or censure. Not one accepted his offer. Such was the strength of quincy pride.

The shinigami had no insignia indicating their division or any markings of rank. It didn't matter. Their leader wasn't difficult to spot. A tall man with long hair, beard and mustache, he carried himself with the air of one used to obedience. By the feel of his reiatsu, it was obvious he was a captain, a very powerful one at that. His men halted at his signal, standing stiffly and uneasily as the captain strode forward. He stopped before the chief. He bowed low, with sincerity and respect etched on his face. The chief bowed in return, more shallowly as befitting a man of his station.

"You know why we are here?" The captain said. It was more a declaration than a question.

The old man nodded. "We were expecting you. As you can see, we are prepared."

The captain frowned. "I see only men here. Since when do quincys keep their women from battle?"

"They have their own mission." The chief replied.

He felt no obligation to tell the shinigami anything further. He almost smiled at the memory of the last clan meeting. The women protested bitterly to be included in this last stand. He even wished a few were here. Some of them were the most skilled fighters in the clan. That also gave them the best chance of survival as they fled across the country, taking the children and trying to find a place to hide. In the end, he had to convince them that survival of the quincy was far more important than making this futile gesture against Soul Society. Even now, facing extinction, they held strongly to their quincy pride.

"You sent them into hiding." The captain guessed. "That was futile. You know we're going to hunt them down. You cannot hope to save them all."

The chief's face betrayed nothing. "I can hope to save enough."

The captain stepped closer. He pitched his voice so only the old man could hear him over the rain.

"Takafumi, you've known me all of your life. We talked many times before about how shingami and quincy can work together. It's still not too late. Make your clan stand down. Promise me you will stop destroying hollows. Do that and I will ask for mercy from the Central 46. The fate of the world is at stake, can't you understand that?"

"Understand?" The chief said. "You speak to me of understanding? You who have failed to protect us as our people are hunted and slain by these monsters? How can you ask us to watch and do nothing as we witness people's souls being devoured, or worse? We were giving these powers for a reason. It couldn't have been to stand by and do nothing. "

The pain in his heart was almost physical, forcing him to clutch at his walking stick to stay on his feet as he remembered with horror what had happened to his children, his son-in-law, his only grandchild. There had been no shinigami around to protect them. Now there was no one left to carry on his line. His future was already destroyed.

"We cannot stop." He declared. "To do so would not be human."

The captain's gaze did not waver as he looked into the elder's eyes. He could see nothing there but resolve. There was no doubt or fear. There was no possibility of him backing down. He would hold on to the infamous quincy pride even now, at the end. Thunder rolled across the sky.

"So be it." The captain said.

At a gesture, the sound of a hundred zapakutos being drawn from their sheathes contrasted with the hum of spirit bows igniting, echoing against the stone of surrounding mountainsides in the damp, rain-soaked air. It seemed to pour down even harder as the shinigami gave their war cry and charged into battle. All around, bolts of blue energy flew to meet the ranks of black. Bodies soon fell, in black and white. Through it all, the clan chief and the captain stood facing each other, surrounded by an island of tranquility in the middle of the violence.

The old man took no actions to defend himself as the captain drew his zampakuto. He watched with his hands on his walking stick as the shinigami raised the sword high in preparation. A look passed between them communicating all. Each knew the other was playing a part neither had chosen. The captain did as his duty demanded. With one clean strike, he cut the old man down. As his opponent fell, the bubble around them disappeared. He joined his men in finishing off the clan.

As his lifeblood poured out on the ground, the old man wept for his people, for the loss of their knowledge and culture as much as for their lives. He allowed himself this one last indulgence. With the rain, no one would see this shameful act. The screams of the dying filled his ears. Across Japan and even around the world, the quincy were being exterminated. Soul Society would do their best to ensure none were left to continue destroying hollows and unbalancing the harmonious cycle of death and re-birth. It had been too late for him to find a way for the quincy to fit in to the cycle instead of disrupting it.

As his vision grew dark, he took comfort in the hope that some of his people would get away. The quincy legacy would carry on. Maybe someday, his people would figure out a way to truly move in harmony with the world and keep the cycle balanced. It was always possible as long as there were so much as one last quincy.


They began with Nemu staring passionately into Uryuu's eyes. He held his hand out to her and she took it. He forcefully drew her body against his. Slowly at first, their bodies swayed, getting a feel for each other's rhythm. They soon achieved synchronicity, each gesture flowing smoothly into the next, each action prompting a corresponding reaction. Moving with more confidence, sweat soon began to bead on their faces and roll down their backs, breathing growing more labored with their exertions. Faster and stronger they moved, passion etched in every line of their bodies, their obvious chemistry giving a fire to their every motion. Their world shrank down to the small circle of space they occupied making it feel as though they were the only two people in the world. Their skins glowing wet with sweat, they panted as they moved towards their climax. Bodies arched and straining, they gave their all as they exploded in an abrupt, powerful finish. For a moment, they stared into each other's eyes in a world of complete stillness. The moment of silence was shattered as the audience surged to their feet with thunderous applause!

Nemu looked around with a surprised smile. "They like us!" She said.

"Look over there." Uryuu replied. "There's our scores."

Nemu grinned even wider to see how well they'd done. She had never danced competitively before and hadn't dared hope to do so well. An announcement blared overhead.

"That was couple #42, Ishida Uryuu and Kurotsuchi Nemu, finishing out the samba portion of the competition. Up next, we have couple #27, Akamatsu Genichi and Kawagishi Miyo, starting the Cha Cha Cha."

"Come on." Uryuu said as he took her hand. "Let's go rest before the next set."

Hurrying to the sidelines, they cleared the dance floor for the next couple. Nemu looked around in wonder as Uryuu led her away. So many people clapping with smiling faces. It was fantastic way to start her vacation.


The rain beat down on their umbrella as they walked down the street. Nemu read the inscription on the trophy for what was probably the hundredth time.

"Honorable Mention, 25th Annual Karakura Latin Dance Competition."

The tiny metal and wood statue couldn't have been more than twenty five centimeters high. Still, Nemu held it close at though it were made of diamond, a pleased and joyous smile on her face. Uryuu smiled as well to see her happy. It had been his idea to enter the competition. Well, not his idea exactly…

The whole thing had been an accident. His father, Ryuuken, was furious when Uryuu returned from what he called 'another hare brained, idiotic, needlessly reckless adventure.' He took the unusual step of grounding him for a month and forbid him to see his 'trouble making friends'. He even took some time off from his job at the hospital. He watched Uryuu like a hawk. That suited Uryuu just fine. After nearly losing his life yet again in a strange dimension, he was more than ready for some peace and quiet. Besides, he had something new to occupy his time.

He hadn't been home more than a day before Nemu figured out a way to send text messages from Soul Society. It was a pleasant and welcome surprise. They sent messages back and forth for hours at a time. How Unohana was keeping her at the fourth division for a while to convalesce. How he was settling back into his daily routine. More and more, they talked about when they could see each other again. Uryuu was overjoyed when she let him know she was released. After several days, they could finally meet! He told her to meet him at his usual spot.

Reality hit him as soon as he pressed send. How was he supposed to meet her? He was still grounded. Maybe Ryuuken wouldn't notice if he just stepped out for a while. Everything seemed to be going well right up until he tried to walk out the back door.

"And just where do you think you're going?" Ryuuken asked from behind his newspaper. He had been so still, Uryuu hadn't noticed him sitting there. He froze with his hand on the doorknob.

"Out." He tersely replied.

"'Out' is not an acceptable response." Ryuuken said as he lowered his paper to look at his son. "Need I remind you you're still grounded?"

"You have to let me out of the house." Uryuu said. "I've been cooped up here for days."

"Considering the trouble you get into whenever you're out of my sight, you should be glad if I ever let you go anywhere at all ever again." His father told him.

"I'm old enough to take care of myself" Uryuu snarled.

"Not old enough to be considered an adult." Ryuuken calmly replied, not taking the bait. "As you are still under my care, I still make the rules here. If you want to go somewhere, you owe it to me to tell me where you are going."

What could he say? Saying he was going for a walk would be just as bad as saying 'out'. Saying he was meeting with friends wouldn't work since he was not allowed to see them. His father knew he had no interests in movies or other hobbies that would make him anxious to leave the house. He didn't want to lie. That was dishonorable and unquincylike. As his mind spun in circles trying to think of what to say, he noticed an ad on the back of his father's paper. He couldn't say why he said what came next.

"Dance lessons." He blurted out.

"What?" Ryuuken replied. He seemed at least a little surprised.

Uryuu was shocked himself. Like a man who accidentally stumbles over a sharp drop, he had to move fast or he would trip up. "Yes, I decided to take your advice and find a more social hobby. I decided on ballroom dancing."

Ryuuken looked skeptical. "You're taking my advice?"

Uryuu pointed at the ad in the paper. "In fact, I'm going by to look at this dance studio this afternoon."

Ryuuken folded his paper over to look at the ad. "Noguchi Dance studio." He looked up at Uryuu. "Seriously? You were going to ask about lessons from this studio today?"

Uryuu gulped. It was starting to sound weird even to him. There was no backing out now though. He had to keep pressing through.

"That was my intention." He answered.

He was unprepared for Ryuuken's response. He smiled. It was not a pleasant sight. It was a thin, knowing smile that said "gotcha." He folded his paper up and put it aside.

"I tell you what Uryuu." Ryuuken said, "I think I'll go with you."


"Dr. Ishida, so glad to see you!" The small, middle aged woman said.

"Noguchi-sensei, it's good to see you too." His father replied as he took her hand. "How are your knees?"

"They feel so much better." The woman who was obviously the owner of the Noguchi Dance Studio said. "Now that I'm recovered from surgery I can move freely with no pain. I feel like I'm twenty years younger. You're a miracle worker doctor!"

Ryuuken modestly waved away the praise. "A positive attitude and cooperative actions are more important than my tinkering. I wish we had more patients like you."

Noguchi-sensei covered her mouth as she smiled. "You are too kind doctor. Nice though you are, I'd rather not be a patient again."

Ryuuken's courteous smile broadened at her little joke. "Heaven forbid you ever need my services again madam. However, it appears that I need yours."

The woman's brow furrowed at this odd revelation. "Oh? In what way?"

Ryuuken gestured to a sulking Uryuu. "This is my clumsy and talentless son." He said. "Do you think it is within your considerable ability to teach this awkward child to dance?"

Uryuu ground his teeth in frustration as they began to negotiate. They went back and forth as though Uryuu wasn't even there, going over prices, lesson dates and times, and mandatory equipment. Before he knew it, he was committed to dance lessons for the next six months.

During their negotiations, he sent Nemu a text about how he was so, so, so sorry that he was late and that he was stuck at the dance studio. He asked if they could try again some other time. She didn't reply.

"That appears to be everything." Ryuuken said. "Thank you for allowing my son in to your studio. I hope he won't embarrass you with his ineptitude."

"Nonsense." Noguchi-sensei said. "He's looks like a fine young man. I'm sure he'll learn quickly."

"Could you do me a favor?" Ryuuken asked. "Could you keep me abreast of his progress? I'd like to know how well he's doing. If he makes all his lessons like he should, it may be as you say."

"I'd be glad to." Noguchi-sensei said with a smile.

Uryuu was furious. So that was his father's plan. Commit him to this activity and then have the teacher spy on him! This was going to mess up a lot of his plans.

"Now that this is settled, can I go now?" He asked. He hated the whining tone in his voice.

"But your first lesson starts today my dear." Noguchi-sensei said.

"It does?" Uryuu replied.

"Yes." Noguchi-sensei said. "It's important that you start as early as you can. I want you to sit here on this bench at the back. Try to get a feel for the rhythm and watch how the dancers move. I'll give you list of things you'll need for next time, so you can participate with the class."

"I don't know." Uryuu said. If he left now, he might just be able to meet up with Nemu. "Can't I just come back tomorrow?"

"Not after I just paid for this."Ryuuken said ominously. Under his father's baleful glare, he did as he was told and sat on the bench.

"That's better." Ryuuken said with a satisfied smirk. "I'll see you at dinner time. Enjoy."

Taking his leave of Noguchi-sensei, Ryuuken walked out with the air of a man well pleased with himself.

Uryuu sighed. It looked like he was never going to see Nemu at this rate. He watched without seeing as the instructor put the other students through their paces. The music fell on deaf ears. Nemu still hadn't replied to his text. Maybe she was mad at him? Maybe she went home? He almost didn't recognize who was speaking to him.

"Excuse me." Nemu said. "I've just recently signed up for lessons here. May I sit next to you?"

A wide grin appeared on Uryuu's face. "Uh, sure." he said as he moved over.

"I'm Kurotsuchi Nemu by the way, stranger that I just now met." She said as she held her hand out. "I hope we can be friends."

Uryuu fought not to laugh at her clumsy subterfuge. "Me too." He said. "I'm sure we'll get along just fine."

That's how they were able to spend time together. Mayuri was being surprisingly cooperative in letting Nemu off for the afternoon lessons. He was being oddly nice to her. Maybe almost losing her made him realize how valuable she was? Maybe her ordeal made him realize how much he actually cared for her? Who could say?

Ryuuken, in the meantime was pleasantly surprised by the information he received from Noguchi-sensei. It seemed Uryuu's combat training carried over to dancing. He didn't need a lot of conditioning, being already flexible and strong and he learned the steps quickly. That wasn't so unusual. What did surprise him were the reports that his son seemed to be interested in a girl! He quickly partnered up with another new student and Noguchi-sensei said they were practically inseparable. Could it be his son was finally turning his back on the old ways and was becoming a normal teenager? He sincerely hoped so.

While it wasn't what he had planned, dancing lessons with Nemu was very enjoyable. Latin style dancing required a lot of physical contact with points added for chemistry and passion. It was obvious to all that the fiery looks and smoldering eyes between the young couple were not just an act. Nemu especially was very good. She never needed to be shown anything more than once. Noguchi-sensei repeatedly asked her where she had studied before and refused to believe she was self taught. With the way they picked up on the steps and never missed a practice together, Noguchi-sensei felt very confident they would do well in the next Karakura amateur competition. Not bad for less than three weeks of practice. Taking her advice, they agreed to give it a try. Ryuuken was dismayed to see his son sewing the dance costumes by hand, but consoled himself with the knowledge that at least he wasn't sewing more Quincy robes. Satisfied that Uryuu's new interest was genuine, he cut his punishment short so he would no longer be grounded on the day of the competition. He also started going back to his usual work hours. Upon hearing that Uryuu would be free that day, Nemu decided to take her first vacation ever to spend more time with him. She couldn't believe her good fortune when Mayuri approved it...

Now, as they walked through the rainy night under the streetlights, he couldn't help but feel it had all been worth it. Nemu seemed to be glowing under the lights of the shops and streetlights as she held the small trophy close. He shifted the umbrella a little to keep her dry.

"You earned that for us, you know." He said. "You carried my clumsy butt through the whole thing."

"Your butt is not clumsy!" She said, "You are very graceful."

He tried not to laugh at her phrasing. "I'm definitely not as skilled as you though." He pointed out.

"We needed more practice." Nemu said. "We'll do much better next time"

Uryuu though about his aching feet and winced inside. Dancing was a lot harder than it looked. He didn't want to think about a next time just yet.

"The night is still young." He said. "What do you want to do now?"

She put her head on his shoulder. "Nothing." She replied. "Everything is perfect right now. I don't want to change a single thing."

Her stomach chose that moment to rumble. Loudly.

"Was that you?" Uryuu asked. "All that dancing must have made you hungry."

Nemu was puzzled. "Yes." She said distractedly. "It must have."

With one hand, she absently rubbed her stomach. Now that she thought about it, she was ravenous. This seemed to be happening more often lately. For as long as she could remember, three light meals a day were more than enough. Nowadays, she seemed to be hungry all the time.

"We can stop and get a bite here." Uryuu said indicating a nearby convenience store, "Or we could find a restaurant."

"Here is fine." Nemu replied.

She found modern convenience stores fascinating. Besides fresh food delivered several times a day, you could pay your bills, book concert tickets or mail a letter. Some even boasted drop off laundry service. Most surprisingly, the shops were considered safe havens for victims of domestic abuse or street crimes. The clerks will watch over you in their safe, well lit store until the police arrive. All this service in 100 square meters.

They picked up a basket at the door and made their selection, moving down the aisles to get a bento and drinks. With uncharacteristic boldness, Uryuu picked up a box of condoms.

"What do you think?" He asked slyly. "Ryuuken said he'd be working very late tonight. We'll have the house to ourselves."

Indeed, since that night in Soul Society, they hadn't found anywhere private enough for more than a little kissing and petting in the few hours Nemu could visit for practice.
Without a hint of embarrassment, Nemu put the box back on the shelf.

"That's not necessary." She said. "Gigais can't get pregnant."

"They can't?" Uryuu replied. "I guess you're right." He ran his hand along her arm. "I forgot this is just a fancy shell."

"This mimics a human body very nicely." Nemu said. "Still, for it to bear children would require extensive modification."

"That's good to know."Uryuu said. "We weren't exactly careful in Soul Society. We were lucky nothing happened."

Nemu didn't answer. She knew luck had nothing to do with it. With her body a storage locker of toxins and chemicals, pregnancy was out of the question. She didn't have the nerve to tell him. Reading up on human relationships in books and magazines, she knew fertility was a touchy issue between couples.

Turning her thoughts to her gigai, she held out her hand and looked at it as she turned it over and back. If she was going to visit the real world regularly, she should probably make a gigai to use on a day to day basis instead of renting one out from Urahara all the time. She was sure she was being ripped off. As far as she could tell, the only real difference between his basic model and this so-called improved, deluxe model was it didn't have "Shop at Urahara's" tattooed across the small of the back. She shelled out the extra money for the deluxe model for the competition. The costume Uryuu made for her was a stylish red dress with lots of ruffles and lace. As per usual for Latin dancing it was form fitting, low cut and reveled most of her back. She didn't want to embarrass him with Urahara's tasteless advertising.

They had their meals warmed at the register and ate them at a small booth in the corner. They talked about the competition, about the other dancers, both the good and the bad, about what they liked and what they may want to try next time. Finishing their meal, they put their coats back on and went out into the rain to end the evening at Uryuu's house. It had been weeks since they were able to have any private time together. With his father not expected back until late, they were determined to make tonight count. Heading for the train station, arm in arm under the umbrella, it felt like a perfect night. Too bad it didn't last.


"Did you feel that?" Nemu asked.

"I did." Uryuu replied. "Hollows. Lots of them"

The sudden appearance of many strong hollows caused a ripple in the background of Karakura's spiritual energy. It was almost impossible to ignore.

"I'm sensing at least two arrancar." Uryuu said. "I can't tell how many lesser hollows are with them."

"There's more than two." Nemu replied. "I can't tell exactly how many. I also can't sense the number of other kinds, except that it's a lot."

Even as Uryuu sought to distinguish their numbers, the hollows began to disperse. Others picked up on their presence. He could feel the reiatsu flare from Ichigo, Chad, Rukia and that one guy, what's his name? You know, the one with the afro? They were already leaping into battle. Still, they could probably use all the help they could get.

"We're going to have to respond to this." He said to Nemu.

She nodded. "I understand."

She pulled out a raven headed soul candy dispenser. Gulping down a pill, her soul reaper form was ejected from the gigai.

"Now Claudia, " She said, "Stay in this area and be very careful with this body. It's a rental"

"Right-o, Mum." The artificial soul said as it fired off a salute. "I'll be sure to take good care of it."

Uryuu and Nemu dashed off into the rain. He glanced back. It was weird how the body still looked like Nemu, but now seemed like a totally different person. The artificial soul inhabiting it cheerfully skipped down the street, whistling a happy tune as she headed towards a nearby bus shelter. He shook his head and focused on the matter at hand.

"They're splitting up again." Nemu said. "I'll take this group on the left. You take the right."

Uryuu frowned. He didn't like the idea of splitting up. "Are you sure?" He asked.

"Don't worry." She replied. "I'll retreat if I can't handle it. Will you do the same?"

The question caught Uryuu by surprise. Retreat was never something he considered when engaging an enemy. It made sense though.

"OK." He said. "If we run into something bad, we'll retreat and meet back at the park."

"Agreed" Nemu said. She took a sharp left hand turn.

Uryuu frowned again. In combat, Nemu seemed to take on a different personality, cold and calculating. Was it due to her shinigami training? It didn't really matter. The enemy was close at hand. He slowed down as he approached an alley. He could feel their presence. A man's voice babbled almost incoherently.

"Who are you? What do you want? Leave me alone!"

He peered around the corner. There were four of them. They had found the soul of a poor businessman and were preparing to devour him. The ghostly outlines of the man in his business suit were almost invisible in the dark and the rain as he swatted ineffectually at the soul eating monsters. Uryuu had seen enough.

"Excuse me gentlemen." He called out. "You appear to be lost." He activated his bow. "Allow me to show you the way to hell."

The reiatsu of the first three indicated they were powerful hollows, sentient and clever, much like the grand fisher. It didn't help them as he shot blue arrows right between their eyes. The last one dodged using sonido. It stopped moving under a doorway light. Uryuu was able to get a good look at it. It was an arrancar all right. Nowhere near as powerful as an espada, but bad news nonetheless. He stood two and a half meters tall with broad muscular shoulders. His cracked skull mask appeared to be a bear's, covering the top of his Head. His face was broad with a strong nose and firm jaw. There were scars all over his face.

"My, you're a big one." Uryuu told him. "Sorry, I don't have time to explain why you are going to lose."

As he drew his bow back, the arrancar pulled back his fist. It glowed bright red. Without speaking a word or uttering a sound, the creature fired off a barrage of bala, cero like energy balls arrancars could use like machine gun bullets. Uryuu had to dodge rapidly, using hirenkyaku to avoid the assault. The hollow was dangerous, but ultimately, doomed.

"I've got you right where I want you." Uryuu whispered as he prepared to release.

Just before he let fly, something exploded, knocking him off his feet. Hitting the ground roughly, he looked to see where the new attack was coming from. A figure silhouetted at the back of the alley was firing blue bolts of energy. They didn't seem to be aiming at him. The bolts seemed to be fired at the arrancar. The problem was this person's aim was lousy!

Bolts were going everywhere, striking the walls, the ground, practically anywhere but the hollow. The arrancar easily avoided the few that managed to strike near him and prepared to run for it. Uryuu tried to get on his feet, but there were too many bolts flying around to make it safe.

"Stop!" Uryuu shouted. "Knock it off!"

It was too late. He felt the reiatsu of the arrancar vanish as it retreated to Heuco Mundo. Worse, that idiot kept firing!

"I said stop dammit! It's already gone!" Uryuu yelled.

The figure at the end of the alley finally listened. They stopped firing.

Uryuu got to his feet and stalked over to where the person stood. As he got closer, he saw it was a small woman, her dark hair slicked down around her head by the rain, thick glasses spotted with raindrops. She stood under the downpour shivering, in fear or cold or from the adrenaline rush of combat he couldn't say. He also didn't care. He roughly seized her by the shoulders and began to shake her.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" He shouted in her face. "Were you trying to kill me? What were you thinking!"

"You're a quincy." She said as if dazed. "You're an actual quincy. "

Uryuu moved back confused. What did she say? She began to cry.

"I'm not alone anymore. I'm not the last one!"

Her words began to sink in past Uryuu's anger. Not the last one? Now that he could stop and think, those were quincy arrows she had fired. He grabbed her wrist and held it up. The flash of metal gleamed off a quincy cross.

"You're a quincy too?" He asked.

"I can't believe it." She said. "I found you. I'm not the last one!"

She threw her arms around Uryuu's neck and buried her face in his chest. Over and over she crooned, "Not the last one, not the last one."

Uryuu stood there flummoxed. Could this be true? Was this another survivor of the quincy tribe? She had shown quincy abilities. Her reiatsu felt like that of a quincy. It just didn't seem possible. Also he had no idea what to do with his hands. The natural thing would be to put his arms around her, but he didn't know this woman at all! Maybe he should pat her on the head?

"I got a few of them, but some got away." Nemu said as she appeared in the alleyway. She stopped in her tracks at what she saw.

"Uryyu." She said. "Who is this?"

He carefully pried the woman's arms away from his neck and stepped back. Moving aside so Nemu could see her, he gestured vaguely at his new acquaintance.

"Well. It seems I'm no longer the last quincy." He said.
