Chapter 5

My dearest Renji,

I'm sorry to have to do this, but I must leave the Soul Society. I can't tell you where I'm going. Please don't search for me. It won't make any difference.

I still love you. I always will. I hope that one day you can forgive me for this.

I have left another note with my father telling him that if I haven't been found in five years, to name you the 'Heir Apparent'.

Again, I'm sorry Renji. I love you.

With love,

Arina

Dear Father,

I'm sorry. Please forgive me. If I haven't been found in five years, please do me a favor. Name Renji the 'Heir Apparent'. It would make me very happy.

I love you. Again, I'm sorry.

With love,

Arina

Your daughter
