I don't own Bleach, because if I did, this guy would be getting way more screentime that he is.

Chapter 3: Otoribashi Rose


At first, he often daydreamed about Soul Society. He daydreamed about what he would do with the small empty grove in his division; perhaps a poetic scene of sakura trees, or peach blossoms- or a field of magnolias, perhaps some roses, too.

He daydreamed about practicing the shamisen underneath a sakura tree, perhaps while having a drink with Kyoraku or Love. He daydreamed of the songbirds and the sound of flowing water; there was none of that where they were now. There was concrete, dirt, and emptiness. There was no beauty about the eeriness of the empty warehouse or the heavy silences that plagued their dysfunctional group much too often.

He daydreamed that one day he might return to that spiritual haven, even if it was for just a little while. He would daydream that everyone (including himself) would ignore the monster inside of him and he would be allowed to appreciate the calming grounds of his division and the peace the spiritual world had once brought him.
