The Past, the Soul Society

The darkness was present.

In that place not a ray of light, no sound, no smell, not even the faintest quiver of spiritual pressure existed—the space was dominated by endless darkness and silence.

Reflexively swallowing his saliva, he only felt his throat move—no sound was produced by the action. He shivered and felt his teeth occasionally grinding together, but of course, he sensed nothing but the tactility of that action.

To Shuhei Hisagi at that moment, the world had contracted to consist only of the pressure under his feet and the feeling of his zanpaku-to gripped in his hand.

Hisagi wondered whether the Muken that he had heard rumors of was a place like this and thought that the criminals who had been trapped in such a place would surely have broken before even a day passed. Hisagi made that abrupt conjecture because he instinctively understood that if he did not think of something, he would end up crushed by his fear.

Just how long would this hell of nothingness go on?

He felt like he could hear something behind him.

However, he only felt as though he had heard something.

In actuality the soundlessness had continued, but Hisagi could not help but feel that there was something there.

A monster.

A monster vastly more frightening than any Hollow was immediately behind him, opening its huge maw.

A memory of his old friend’s death came into his mind.

In the next moment, the face of his friend’s corpse was replaced with his own…

Before he realized it, he had swung his zanpaku-to around toward his back.

However, he wasn’t able to complete the swing.

Hisagi started to shout, believing there really was some kind of monster there, but…

The darkness suddenly cleared.

“Huh…”

Abruptly, all his senses returned and Hisagi remembered. This was the Soul Society at midday, and he was in a forest within the Rukongai that few people approached. And he realized what had stopped his blade was the blade of his captain—his superior officer—at which point he quickly lowered his arms.

“…Captain Tosen.”

He was soaked with sweat, and slightly delayed, his heart started thumping fast.

The light returned, the sound returned, the smells returned, and Hisagi was surrounded by the feeling of being alive.

“I determined that any longer would be dangerous. First, steady your breathing.”

“…I’m sorry. My actions were shameful.”

Though Hisagi lowered his head and gasped for breath, Tosen, who stood before him, quietly shook his head.

“There is nothing to apologize for or feel embarrassed about. If your senses are abruptly stolen, it’s natural to feel fear. As someone who never had light to begin with, I lost the ability to even move when my hearing was blocked.”

“How long was I…in the darkness?”

“Not even a half hour has passed.”

Hearing those words, Hisagi, who was convinced that it had been several hours, was once again mortified by his own inexperience. When he looked up reflexively, the black curtain that had been created over the forest before him collapsed and converged into the zanpaku-to blade Tosen held.

“Is this your bankai, Captain?”

“Suzumushi Tsuishiki, Enma Korogi. That is my bankai’s name.
