Follow me down the rabbit hole~
It is nice, Ichigo thinks, to finally know what's happening. He should have lost all of Shinigami powers when he used the Final Getsuga Tensho and yet he saw a glimmer of Izumi's powers.
"It should have taken longer," Fujiwara Kazuhiko, head of the temple and Izumi's older brother, explains. "You were supposed to have lost all your powers but somehow, a speck of it, like a tiny drop in a vast ocean, managed to remain. But having lost such a large amount, your body went into shock and it adapted to life without reiryoku. When that speck tried to regenerate, your body rejected it because it no longer recognized it. What should have happened was the process being repeated over and over again. Given time, your body would have eventually accepted it and you would have regained your Shinigami abilities. Why it is happening so quickly, well that is for someone far cleverer than I to say."
Ichigo nods. He finally has an explanation and someone who is willing to help. "How do I – " he trails off. He doesn't know how to ask for it or even what he's asking for. He only knows he wants it back.
"Work with Izumi," is the suggestion. "Most things she can handle but sometimes the requests we receive need two people. I would guess that the more active you are in using reiryoku the quicker your body will adapt to it."
"Thank you," says Ichigo, heartfelt. After long months of drowning in despair he finally sees a light.
