[Voice Post]Kaien is dead. Shunsui. Shunsui, I killed him. Too weak. We were too weak. Shunsui,
I killed him. I was ... I was his captain. I was his
friend. Shunsui,
Kaien is dead. Sogyo no Kotowari is crying. Make them stop!
Genryusai-sensei, make them stop! I can't hear! I can't! I can't I can't I can't!
[Ukitake utters a choked sob as he begins beating Sogyo no Kotowari's sheathed blade against the wall. Then he drops the blade to the floor and begins rocking, forcing his voice out between gulping breaths.]Please. Make them be quiet.
They're lying. I killed Kaien. My fault. I failed. I failed. People will die. I failed.[He abruptly stops rocking, and his voice becomes steady, determined.]Can't stay. We can't stay here. We have to
fix it.
[There's a crash of glass as Ukitake breaks out the window, then a rush of air as he leaps to the ground below, taking his sword with him, and disappears into Flash Step.]
