you were apart of the lower seats in the 4th division of the gotei 13. you were given an odd task, to guard the death row prisoner, rukia kuchiki, charged with the cardinal crime of transferring her soul reaper powers to a regular human. now she’s expecting to be killed within the week, and she’s sat in her cell, never speaking for fighting back, seemingly accepting the fate that has befallen her at this point.

you, on the other hand, felt bad, you wanted to help her, wanted to make her feel better or even get her off of death row but considering how weak you were compared to those against you, you had nothing to do but sit outside her cell. today though, you did something daring, taking your food and blankets and giving it to rukia, who simply sat there silent, before looking up at you with a somber expression.

“why did you give me these things..? i don’t deserve them, you’ll get hungry and you’ll get in major trouble if you help me, just.. just mind your business. i’m a death row criminal who should be punished for the crimes she did.. just.. just leave me be and let me rot until i’m gone..”
