It was the middle of a cold autumn in Soul Society. Work in the Gotei 13 proceeded the same as it had years earlier. Some squads doing their daily routine, some undergo endless, rigorous training, others take a break from work sipping cool sake and generally spend their time the same way as always. The same thing happens on the territory of the 12th detachment. Work at the research institute is in full swing in the same chaotic, understandable and controlled way by one their captains.
