When they played I'd sing along
it made me smile

Remembering the days from Rukongai hurt. The graves which overlook their hometown, the starved streets, and the days long gone. Rukia remembers all of them. She always does—did.

They had sung—happily, around the fire. The taste of the poorly cooked fish did not put their spirits down, not even the thought of tomorrow's daily needs crossed their minds. They were together.

Don't mind the poverty. They will be fine.

She watched all of them, laughing and singing. They were happy (hollow happiness). She could not ask for more.

Except maybe for their lives to return from the past.

How I wondered where they'd gone

Rukia walked along the road, wondering. Wandering.

Where had they gone? The old faces, the shabby cottages, the water jugs they stole; where had they all gone? The music, the fire, the burnt taste of fish… all gone. She was looking at them with different eyes now. Pityingly and lamenting for her old friends. But her mind, still the same, did not think differently. She still missed them.


but they're back again

From a distance, she saw a figure come into view. Renji was there, waving at her.

She squinted, as other people began to emerge. Heart jumping in joy, she realized it was them. Her old friends. Waving with those stupid grins on their faces.

Rukia walked faster, afraid that they might disappear. Even if she knew that they were only mirages.

It's yesterday once more.
