She seemed much smaller like this, even smaller and further away than she had ever been in the Fourth division. But then her eyes caught his, and that small, meek and feeble smile slipped out and all his worries disappeared.

Abarai overthinks a few things as he heads to Hueco Mundo.

What do you do when she won't move?

He's just in it for the killing, she's there for revenge. Where does that leave them?

Hinamori's always runing out of something.
