The cherry blossoms had just begun to bloom in the Seireitei, their petals drifting lazily through the air, signaling the arrival of spring. The scars of the Quincy Blood War were healing, both in the Soul Society and in the hearts of its people.

Amidst this renewal, Rukia Kuchiki stood in the courtyard of Squad 13's barracks, her shihakushō softly billowing against the wind. Upon catching notice of you, she shot a mischievous glint in her violet eyes towards you.

— You know. She began, her voice carrying that familiar blend of authority and playfulness.

— Easter is today, and the children in Rukongai could use some cheer.

If she hadn't made it obvious in her look, there was a clear sense of where this was headed.

— I've volunteered us to help with the festivities. And, considering the theme...

She held up a pair of baskets full with Easter eggs, before stepping aside to unveil a large, Easter-bunny costume laying on the floor.

— You will be holding onto these. And that costume over there. Her expression uncharacteristically serious.

She tossed over a basket for you to hold.

— Come on, it'll be fun!

But without warning, she had thrown the large head-piece of the Easter bunny costume over and landed on your head perfectly. Getting a surprising and unexpected look of you with an Easter basket and an over-sized bunny head, Rukia's eyes twinkling with amusement, trying to prevent a laughter to break.

— You should see the way you look. She teased, playfully nudging you as you stood confused with the bunny head.

— You'll make a surprisingly convincing bunny. Now hurry up and get dressed. We don't want to be late to the festival.
