GRAVEYARD
[On the instant of your death, you're suddenly outside of your body - probably staring down at the remains it's become.
Yet, you're not alone. For all of you (except Szayel), a young man appears from behind you, his face set into a firm, yet sad, scowl. His shaggy strawberry blonde hair is pretty eye-catching, along with the black and white Shihakusho he wears and the large sword on his back, even as he gently tries to lead you back into the lobby and away from what was once your body. You can still clearly hear and see the living, if you want to try - but they can't see or hear you.
'Welcome to the world of the dead in this Resort,' he says, quietly. 'Looks like you're stuck here with the rest of us.'
He hands you a tablet, just like the one you had before. "You'll need this if you want to keep talking to them,' he explains, looking sad.
It looks like you've passed on, and yet...You still feel like you have a role to play in all of this.]

... I did not expect them to stay. I am... still reeling, a bit.

[He looks over curiously at that.]
Some part of me wishes they did, but... they're too stubborn to at this point. What made you think that, though?

Well, needless to say, you really underestimated humans. ...I'm not going to say there aren't people out there who would do exactly what you were thinking, but it isn't that simple, either. And while I'm not qualified to pinpoint just what exactly is driving each of us onwards, I'm pretty certain it has to do with the time we shared together, and the bonds we've formed along the way.
[aka friendship is magic i'm so sorry szayel]

No... it's not that I was wrong about human nature... [Gendo Ikari fingers] I wrongfully assumed that humans in groups would behave the same way as individuals... these bonds... this "friendship". It has more power than I had originally anticipated. It's not just some snake oil you creatures peddle to one another for empty comfort, as I had long hypothesized... hm....
[he laughs, a bit unhinged, and looks up at the ceiling]
Ah...! Kurosaki Ichigo....! I suppose I will take some ketchup with this crow I'm eating, now!
no subject
It seems like there's a lot going between you two, huh...
[He coughs a little to compose himself.]
Either way, new revelations about friendship or not, we won't be able to follow up on it much until we get out of here. So for that... we'll be counting on you too, Szayel.
no subject
[he sighs]
Well, you have whatever I can give.
