She was leaving, departing for the unknown horrors of Hueco Mundo.

Ukitake’s eyes remained wide as he focused on the floorboards, barely hearing his name among the others who would fight the traitor, Aizen. He knew the choice was reasonable. She was the best healer they had.

But…she was the best. And she was leaving.

Ukitake looked to the other row of captains, instantly seeking her form. He drank in her figure, all soft lines masking her strong resolve. But she looked at peace with her eyes closed and no outward worry evident upon her brow. Ukitake yearned to feel that peace.

Yamamoto’s voice broke in to dismiss them all. Ukitake took an intake of breath as she opened her eyes and met his own, calmness in her gaze, before flash-stepping away.

He bowed his head and closed his eyes. Be safe, Retsu-san.

And then he, too, left.
