[It's when Ichigo dies that he finally, finally lets it come out. A harsh breath, a gasp, and a bite on his lower lip. It's the closest he's come to actually crying in a long, long time, but boy does his chest hurt right now. Ichigo didn't deserve any of this, he fucked up so badly here.

He almost misses Ichigo leaving, honestly. He's never actually seen a spirit before, so he doesn't even realize that it's Ichigo he's seeing. But something in him changed today, and he catches a blur of orange and black out of the corner of his eye. Which makes he turn suddenly, and look to the door.

[But there's nothing there. Ichigo is too fast, and it leaves Gabe thinking he's imagining things. Ichigo is dead now, after all. He won't be seeing him again.]
