Happiness
"Woman, explain this," ordered Ulquiorra. He pointed at a sticker on the back of a clipboard Orihime was carrying. It depicted a bald-headed boy in a yellow and black shirt hugging a floppy-eared beagle.
"Happiness is a warm puppy," she read.
Ulquiorra blinked slowly. "This person's requirements for the state of happiness are fulfilled by a juvenile dog of above average temperature?"
"So?" barked Renji, snatching his clipboard back from Orihime. "What's your definition of happiness?"
"I once encountered a crystalline void of infinite nothingness. Colorless. Odorless. Tasteless. Soundless." He closed his eyes. "That was happiness."
"Good grief," muttered Renji.
