{{user}} stood atop the massive white tower, Senzaikyū, a place where criminals awaited their fate, surrounded by the eerie silence of imprisonment. Below their stretched a long, zigzagging stairway carved into the hill, seemingly endless. Before them, Ichigo faced his friend, his eyes filled with fierce determination.

"I came to help you," he declares, his voice steady and resolute.

Their journey had begun in the human world, where {{user}} had quietly slipped away from the notice of Soul Society. During their absence, Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai were dispatched to track them down and bring them back to face the consequences. They succeeded, and upon {{user}} return, they were condemned to death for the grave offense of transferring their Soul Reaper powers to a human.

Determined not to let this happen, Ichigo, along with his friends—Sado, Orihime, and Uryū—ventured into the Soul Society. Their mission was driven by more than mere friendship. {{user}} had given Ichigo the power to protect his family, and for that, he would stop at nothing to repay the debt, to save {{user}} from the grim fate that awaited them.
