Unohana's flashback:
"Unohana-taichou! There have been reports from central room 45!"
"What is it?"
"A new disease will soon infect one important person of Soul Society. It is due to happen next week, and is reported to be deadly.
"And its symptoms…?"
"Bad"
"How?"
"First, the victim begins to quiver and lose breath, then they begin to burn up at an alarming speed. No matter what, they won't sweat from the fever. Those symptoms will become steadily worse and the victim will also soon lose desire to live because of the intense pain. A while later, all there previous battle wounds from before will come back all at once. Finally, Their fever will go above 65 degrees C. In short, they will die a painful and hopeless death.
"Isn't there any way to stop this?"
"Afraid not, ma'am. The center is trying to find a cure, but so far, there has been no leads."
"The disease is called…?"
"Methabanium, taichou, Methabanium."
End of Flashback
Unohana was snapped from her heavy train of thoughts buy and surprisingly brusque Hinamori. "Well? Taichou? Is Hitsugaya-taichou going to be alright?"
Unohana looked at the panicky Hinamori and serious Matsumoto. She really didn't want to have to be the one to break the bad news to them.
