Music never really occurred to Chessebelle as something that could be enjoyable for people.
Shinji always seemed to be listening to music while he worked, if you could even call what he did work.
Ikkaku had gotten these things called headphones from the world of the living and would listen to music while he was sparring sometimes.
It wasn't until Shinji had been murdered that she decided to take the record player that used to be perched in his office. The acting lieutenant of the fifth division actually brought it to her, quickly clarifying that they only figured she would want it because otherwise it would become trash. Without thinking, she had said no and later had to dig the record player out of the garbage.
Chessebelle didn't find much from Shinji's collection that she liked and Ikkaku didn't know where to start in finding a record that she might like, wondering why she wouldn't let him get her a 'iPod' as they call it.
Eventually, she found some classical records that she would put on while she bathed, submerging herself in the scalding water in her bathroom and letting herself focus on the sounds of piano.
Sometimes she thought about never getting out, suspending herself in the moment of peace forever. But of course, there was much to do before she could ever truly rest.
