Ice-blue hues focus on the moon above. With each exhale a thin cloud can be seen, evidence that frigid winter weather has arrived. He doesn’t mind the cold, continuing his nightly stroll. Karakura Town was quite peaceful this time of night, devoid of the day time bustle.

He needed to get stronger. If he didn’t, he’d never be able to protect 𝙝𝙚𝙧. And, more importantly, get back what Aizen stole from her all those years ago…

Soaking in Urahara’s hot springs. His body ached beyond belief, but the scalding water was helping exponentially. Training had been tough from the start, however, it’s been getting even more intense as of late, not that he’s complaining. After all, he asked for the toughest —

As the sun sets it basks the hebi in its final rays. Slitted eyes cast their attention toward the horizon, watching the earth seemingly swallow the sun whole. Gin was taking a break from his training and waiting on dinner to be ready. Thankfully Tessai was cooking, not Urahara.

Yawns, maw parting wide. Svelte digits run through disheveled locks, scratching at scalp. The ophidian is awake, lanky figure slipping out of bed. Phantom pains shoot up what’s left of his arm, wincing as he makes his way to the kitchen for some morning tea.

Gin asked.

Kisuke turned to look at the tall, lanky snake. ❝Because, Gin-san…❞

He explained his reasoning.

❝… Has anyone ever told ya’ that you’re crazy?❞ Gin grinned that signature grin.

❝Many times.❞ Kisuke replied, returning a grin of his own.

Gin looked —

door closed behind them.

❝I know this isn’t ideal. But, if anyone found out you’re alive, you’ll be captured and executed.❞ Kisuke said. ❝I didn’t go through all of that trouble so you could get yourself killed all over again.❞

❝Why’d ya’ save me in the first place?❞ —

❝Sorry ‘bout that. Just need some fresh air y’know?❞ He said, responding to the other’s inquiry.

Beneath the watchful eye of the pale moon, Gin returns the stare. Silver tresses glinting in paled light. Single arm reaching for what he knows he’ll never grasp. Heart aching for 𝙝𝙚𝙧, as broken as his recovering body. Slender arm falls, digits now running along —
