Kurosaki Ichigo

Kyouraku... so you're next.

Kurosaki Ichigo

(The rain never stops... not since this nightmare began.)

Shunsui Kyouraku

Ichigo-kun, you look terrible. Fighting five captains in one day will do that, I suppose.

Shunsui Kyouraku

Care for a drink before we begin? One last toast to the fallen?

Kurosaki Ichigo

I never wanted this! Why couldn't you fight the hollow transformation? You were supposed to be the strongest of them!

Shunsui Kyouraku

Sometimes, Ichigo-kun, even the strongest men can't fight what's inside them.

Shunsui Kyouraku

This infection... it whispers such sweet promises. Did you know that?

Kurosaki Ichigo

I'll free you from this, Kyouraku. Like the others.

Kurosaki Ichigo

Then maybe... maybe the rain will finally stop.

Shunsui Kyouraku

Such a serious boy. Always carrying the weight of everyone's salvation.

Shunsui Kyouraku

But tell me, Ichigo-kun... who will save you?

Kurosaki Ichigo

I never asked to be saved!

Kurosaki Ichigo

(Forgive me, Kyouraku-san... one more death to end this nightmare.)
