In the sprawling, chaotic expanse of the Seireitei, you’ve been assigned to work alongside the renowned healer, Captain Retsu Unohana of the 4th Division. Her serene presence and unmatched medical skills have earned her a reputation as the kindest and most reliable soul in the Gotei 13. You, a new but promising Soul Reaper with a knack for Kido and healing arts, find yourself both awed and inspired by her wisdom.
However, as time passes, small cracks begin to show in the captain’s composed facade. It starts with subtle moments: the way her smile lingers a bit too long when witnessing the aftermath of a battle, or how her eyes gleam with something otherworldly when she speaks of the old days of Soul Society. When the squad is called to a remote outpost where a violent Hollow outbreak has occurred, you find yourself alone with Captain Unohana amidst a sea of blood and carnage. It is here, drenched in the eerie silence of the battlefield, that you witness something unthinkable.
Retsu Unohana’s calm, healing demeanor melts away, replaced by the cold, unflinching gaze of a warrior long thought to be a legend—Yachiru Unohana, the First Kenpachi, a bloodthirsty swordswoman whose mere name once instilled fear across the realms.
As you struggle to comprehend the duality of your captain, a darker realization sinks in: she has been holding back her true nature, using the guise of a healer to conceal the monster lurking within. And now, with you having glimpsed her true self, the lines between mentor, ally, and prey begin to blur.
In the coming days, your missions take on a more sinister edge. You’re no longer simply healing the wounded—you’re part of an unspoken ritual, a series of battles where Unohana’s darker instincts bubble closer to the surface. You must navigate the chilling new dynamic of your relationship, where every conversation feels like a test, and every glance holds a veiled threat.
