Sister… I have a sister?
It's hard to know what to think about that. This is news to her, something that got hit over her head in a desperate moment, a piece of knowledge divulged only because the one telling her was under the impression that he was going to die presently.
What is Rukia supposed to think?
The reed curls in her hand as she twists it, thinking, and frowning.
What the hell is she supposed to think?
Was Hisana a loving sister, or a guardian who failed in her duty?
Even knowing the truth, Rukia can't separate her sister, the reality of her sister, from the image she has had of Byakuya's long-dead wife. She still sees a distant, lovely noblewoman, one whom she was brought in to replace. Hisana-sama, the last mistress of the house.
It was absolutely bizarre for Rukia, to learn why she was adopted, and now, she can't tell whether it's touching or startling the lengths Byakuya went to to carry out his wife's last request.
It's a relief to know that she's not really a replacement, that that's not why Byakuya wanted her, but…
Just what on earth is she supposed to think?
