Recovery

Chapter 3 – safety net

She knew there was something wrong with the way she acted, the way she still cared for the man who stabbed her, who made her point her sword at her friend.

Yet even though she knew that the way she thought and acted was wrong, she couldn't bring herself to think that the captain she had followed and adored for so many years was a lie the whole time.

There would no longer be his soothing voice which calmed her when she was scared, no longer being saved when she was in trouble.

There was no one else to catch her when she fell anymore and so she clung onto the figure who had helped her before so many times. It hurt her to see everyone's pitying faces, she didn't need pity. She needed someone to understand.

Yet one day, Hitsugaya came to visit like he usually did but instead of his usual silence, he spoke.

"Hinamori, from now on, i'll be your safety net. If you fall, I'll catch you."

And with that uttered phrase, a flustered captain quickly walked away from her room, unknown to him, Hinamori smiled the first time in weeks.
