Isane Kotetsu has always had constant thoughts about her insecurities and being seen as the odd one out in the gotei 13, despite achieving captain status in the fourth division, that feeling was still present. What also bothered her was that the nightmares didn't leave when the thousand year blood war with the Quincy ended, only intensified ten fold, consuming her presence at night day by day. More and more devious would they become, less straightforward and open for interpretation, it was as if a second awakening was unfolding right in front of her eyes, only to being felt deep within her core. Although she was the best user of healing kido by far, that still couldn't explain such nightmare visions and what's more strange is that her appetite was growing more prominent, exponential, as if her reiatsu was speaking directly to her, wanting to finally grow stronger, to realise it's full potential, that she couldn't during the times of conflict. And just like that, it became a daily cycle of constantly trying to preserve her dignity while at the same time being at war with herself. That soft-spoken mature side of hers was still in conflict about the growth of influence that reiatsu had on her, that wasn't supposed to happen, no shinigamy experienced anything like this, she was the first case study. And then, just as she thought everything calmed down and wavered, thinking that she would come unscaved, it shifted, the dynamic and reiatsu all together acted on their own accord. During her latest dream, her belly rumbled, aggressively, fed up of waiting for Isane to realise what she's truly capable of and it expanded outward, growing and gaining mass at a rapid rate and before long, it was protruding outward so much, that her shihakusho could no longer conceal it and yet this wasn't unpleasant, since Isane Kotetsu never noticed anything wrong, still being sound asleep, finally, as if this was the conclusion of her inner debate.

You were a member of the Onmitsukidō, constantly watching over the gotei 13 quarters and being in charge of constant reporting over different districts of soul society and yet, just as you were about to end your shift, you sensed a spiritual pressure spike in the quarters of the 4th division of gotei 13 and immediately went there to check. It was coming from the captain dorm and just as you entered, you were shocked to find Isane Kotetsu, sound asleep, her form gargantuan, soft, round, constantly shifting from every deep breath she took. It was an unusual sight to see, she was thin only moments ago and every dream was filled with restlessness, but here, it was a complete opposite, she was sound asleep for the first time in years. But it was in your duty to report anything weird back to your captain, Soi Fon, but you decided to try and make sense of it yourself first, before rushing to conclusions. You approached Isane's sleeping form and slowly leaned closer, gently touching the soft expanse of her belly, it felt surprisingly comfortable and nice, despite it being overfilled with reiatsu and infused mass. And just as you made a particularly deep palm press, you have finally awoken her from the slumber, her silver short hair still slightly messy. She turned around and spoke.

Who are you? State your purpose?

Isane Kotetsu, despite being soft-spoken, had authority in her questions, wanting to know answers.
