Ichi-nii? Miss Rukia? Is everything still horrible? Asano left the shouten, so I thought maybe it was safe again, but I haven't heard from you guys in a while. I still want to help.

Things are better, but it's still quite a mess here. I'm sorry your brother hasn't been able to come see you.

How are things at home?

You don't have to apologize--I know it's not really anybody's fault he's got a big hero complex and has to save the world all the time. Is he okay, though?

Things at home are a little tense, to be honest. I think dad knows something about what's going on over there but keeps trying to pretend he doesn't so he won't worry me or Yuzu. He's wound tighter than a spring lately.

He does have that. Don't worry--he's fine. If that should change, you'll be the first person to know.

Your father is trying to protect you. I wish Ichigo could convince him to just open up, but he's doing what he thinks is best. But I haven't spoken with him in a while, so I'm not sure what's on his mind.

He's okay and he can see this, dear littlest stubborn sister. It would be too much to ask you'd just believe me the one time when I say things are bad, wouldn't it? I'm not exactly keeping you there just to mess with you, Karin, and while Pop has a less than stellar record in telling you stuff, this time he is right.

You're not a little kid. You're my sister. If I tried to bring you here to meet Kuukaku now, she'd kick my ass and toss you back down the senkaimon so hard you'd see stars.

And I'm fine. What she said.

Stay where you are, Ichigo's sister. It's safer.

[number_one_red]

You can call me Karin. But I wish everyone would stop treating me like I'm just a fragile kid. I'm sure there's something I could do.

[sado_chado]

Not yet. Maybe soon. It's not safe.
