I woke up this morning tucked into my futon in the 8th divisions' barracks. I must have fallen asleep reading with Kyouraku-taicho last night. I'll go apologize to him today. I shouldn't inconvenience Kyouraku taicho like that. He has a lot on his mind and he has a bunch of paperwork to needs to be done. He looked so…lost… when I came in last night. So much so that it made me even sadder. Yet he seemed a bit happier when we were reading, so I think I did the right thing.
I think he might have been drinking that weird beverage all the older shinigami drink. Is it called sake? Well, I'm not exactly sure but he smelled like it and he seemed a bit slower than usual. There were also a bunch of empty bottles by his desk as well, so he must have had quite a bit if he was drinking that substance. At least Taicho didn't drink it while I was there and he got a bit better as he read more.
Even though Kyouraku taicho smiled and laughed, they both seemed a bit hollow to me. And his eyes. His eyes looked so sad and pained. Lisa-san told me that Kyouraku taicho is really old, so chances are that he's seen something like this before. Or at least felt the same sort of pain.
Usually he likes lying in the gardens, but now that Lisa-san isn't around, he probably will be doing paperwork. Lisa-always said that Kyouraku taicho is more than capable of doing paperwork but her guess is that after being around for as long as he has, it is just tedious. Thus he leaves it to his subordinates to do. So after I'll get ready I'll go see if he's in his office.
