Bleach: Watch Closely, This Is How You Use a Zanpakutō

Inside the spacious palanquin, Rukia clung tightly to Masatsuki Aozaki’s hand.

She struggled to keep herself steady, trying not to lean into Masatsuki’s arms. Her large, expressive eyes darted around, scanning her surroundings.

"Nii-san, what exactly is the present you got me?"

Ever since they had left Seireitei, Masatsuki had been acting mysterious, which only piqued Rukia’s curiosity even more.

"Why don’t you guess?"

Masatsuki remained unfazed by her eager anticipation, offering only a cryptic smile in response.

"I really can’t figure it out."

Rukia shook her head in defeat, a trace of impatience showing on her adorable face.

To outsiders, she always presented herself as composed and reserved.

But in front of Masatsuki, she was like an innocent, playful child—lively and carefree.

"We’ve traveled quite a long way already. We should be arriving soon."
