She was going to die. 24 hours, and they were going to put her up on that platform and execute her.
She wished Renji would stop making that face. She wished nii-sama would make some sign so she could pretend he cared. She wished Hanatarou wouldn't get in trouble trying to help her. She wished another Shiba wouldn't get killed and it be her fault. She wished Ichigo would listen to her just this once and go home. She wished to be able to see him one more time so her last vision of him wasn't full of blood and rain.
She really, really wished she cared at all she was going to die in 24 hours.
But she found it just wouldn't work. She'd just been broken to many times, in to many ways – shattered and then the fragments shattered again – so when she put herself back together as close as she could there were pieces missing that had gotten lost and left behind. She couldn't even align the pieces she had anymore, and more were lost each day, making more holes.
So many holes, and not enough room to care. That part of her must have been hit repeatedly, until every shred was lost.
So all she could do so incomplete was sit and wish and not care, and wait for time to catch up to her in another 24 hours.
