"Rukia, would you be upset if I saw someone other than our beloved Sister?"
The unexpected query reverberated through her ears like nerves striking through her endless times. Blinking a few times in bewilderment, she averted her gaze onto the pavement as she had no desire to glance at her noble brother. This was something she’d under no circumstances envisage the day this would happen from the likes of him. After all, she alleged that his romantic business was the least of his priorities. Not like she would see him being alone for the rest of his life it was startling that he had discovered someone new suitable to his standards.
Someone other than her sister who passed onto the other side because of her severe illness. In all honesty, she never saw anyone else that’d be for him other than Hisana. The noblewoman also vaguely believed he was still softly mourning over her. But knowing him, he’d manage to learn and move on from the agonizing past.
It was as if someone else managed to get through to him before she could if this occurred. It means that, that someone had caught the resilient and arduous glimpse of interest of his and of all the people they knew throughout Soul Society, the petite could not imagine that there was someone that suited his well being. It was all so astonishing to her that it felt as if her previous thoughts were scattered everywhere. In an endeavor to recollect everything mentally, she had to come up with a satisfying rejoinder for the other. The last thing she wanted to do was upset him.
“No, Nii-sama. Of course not.”
