Week 2, Post-Trial: Ichigo

[withsadness]

[Mary watches Ichigo storm off after the meeting, looking back and forth from between where he went and between where the others are still talking. In the end, she chases after him, not wanting to lose sight of him if he gets too far away. He was so mad! All that bloodthirsty excitement seems to have completely vanished as she tries to catch up.]

Wait! Ichigoooo!

[And thus, the sacred pinky promise is complete. Ichigo nods, patting the top of her head again.]

That's alright. It's a good reason to not go back, anyway.

[He gives a sad smile, his eyes reflecting a deep, unhealed pain.]

I didn't go back because all of my friends were already dead...and that I'd had to do something that might get undone if I returned to life.

[Or worse...he'd be alive but trapped, limbless, in the crystal.]
