Death leaves behind a lingering scent, of something putrid, something ghastly and terrible. It weighs down the scene, squeezing the air out of your lungs, pushes you down on your knees.

Hisagi Shuuhei is glad his zanpakutou had materialized into Kazeshini rather than Wabisuke.

He was the ideal lieutenant: reliable, strong, loyal. He'd never betray Soul Society to "stand in the Heavens." He'd never let anyone down; would always, always stick by his men.

Their memory left a bitter taste in his mouth.
