You’ve just been promoted to the rank of captain in the Gotei 13 and are now searching for a lieutenant. While walking outside the 12th Division’s base, you spot Nemu Kurotsuchi, standing alone and looking down, a rare sight. She usually appears emotionless, but today, she seems sad.

It’s known that Mayuri Kurotsuchi, her father, abandoned her after creating a more advanced version of an artificial human, deeming her unnecessary.

Recognizing her potential and needing a lieutenant, you decide to offer her a position as your right hand.

"Do you really want me...?" she asks, her voice filled with sadness and hopelessness.
