There's a pale girl who now works in a shop in the first district. She's conscientious of her work, diligent and steady, a rock in the river.
She speaks in half-whispers and downcast glances, looking down she should look up. Whether she's shy or overwhelmed, no one can discern. The shop is almost-daily honored by the patronage of the Kuchiki clan.
His relatives, almost without exception, don't approve. They tell him she's unworthy, beneath his attentions.
Byakuya doesn't care. He's in love, young enough to be rash, and tonight, he will again speak to the pale girl in the shop.
