After putting on the finishing touches on Nnoitora you stand up and start walking away from him.
In a few moments his eyes snap open and he quickly gets up to his feet.
He is grasping his chest, looking for the wounds he had mere moments ago.
"Guess my healing was quicker than I thought...
HEY YOU! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING?!"
You turn around to face him and pull your hat over your eyes.
"What do you mean?
I finished it, it's over."
"The HELL it is!
I'm still standing!"
"Your don't remember?
Mere moments ago you died."
His sole eye widens.
"W-wha..."
"That strange empty feeling? That's death.
I know, disappointing isn't it? Humanity came up with all kinds of grand ideas about death and the afterlife in a desperate attempt to deny the truth, the empty void that is death.
In truth, it can happen so quickly you don't even realize it happened to you."
You can see Nnoitoras eye as he begins to comprehend the situation.
His pupils dilate as the pieces fall into place.
"That can't be..."
"As I struck you down you entered a state of clinical death, your breathing stopped and so did your heart.
The shock was enough so you even lost consciousness and if it weren't for my ability brain death would have followed shortly after."
His confusion slowly turns to anger as he begins to understand the sheer weight of your claim.
"THE HELL YOU DID!"
In that moment he begins charging a cero at the tip of his surprisingly long tongue.
"TAKE THIS!"
The yellow blast quickly gets closer to you but you simply reach out and crush the collected energy with your hand.
"I recommend you stop now.
Next time I won't bring you back."
His eyes tremble as you destroyed his last desperate attack.
"You are free to try again once we are on equal ground."
You then turn around but before you leave you give him a last word.
"But I must warn you, Aizen rarely shows his face around here so it could take years."
With that you leave him alone to think about the fight.
German Hollow Quest 27
Before you return to Harribel you see Neliel supporting a tree.
You walk up close to her and you see that satisfied expression of hers.
"Is this your idea of a joke Neliel?"
With a coy smile she replies.
"I suppose you noticed it as well."
"An Adjuchas who harbors such hidden potential?
Yeah, it may take time but he'll definitely grow powerful if left to his own devices."
"That's not what I meant."
She closes her eyes as she keeps smiling to herself.
"He has the same look in his eyes as you do."
You turn away from her and begin walking away from her.
"I have no idea what you are talking about."
As you are walking away from her you keep thinking about the fight.
That strange and yet familiar feeling that simply couldn't leave you alone.
The whole time you felt like you were staring into a distorted mirror.
"Fuck you Neliel..."
You mutter to yourself.
As you are walking to Harribel she slowly opens her eyes.
"Impressive show."
"I'd call it tedious.
What's up?"
"Nothing.
I guess today is just doomed to be like this.
I suppose you'll want to check on Alex now, right?"
>"She's an adult and can take care of herself."
>"Sorry about this, but yeah I should."
>Other? (write-in)
Hey Spooky.

We should sound out Wang Lan. She seems to respect us and she has a legitimate grudge against Aizen that we can use to turn her to our side. Plus, she's one of the few people smart enough to figure out what we are doing.
