As Byakuya was searching for some final clues before heading in the district, Rukia visited the graves of her deceased friends atop the hill.
Rukia: "This, this is the place where i grew up with my friends."
As she was paying her respects, the boy and girl appear in front of Rukia. Before she could say something to them she fell on her knees clutching her head in pain.
Rukia started recalling how she got her powers and many others as she clutched her head in pain with both hands, prompting the girl to rush to her aid.
When the Girl saw that Rukia started remembering as she was murmuring a few words, Dark Reiatsu started emanated from the girl.
As everything was happening and the Girl's reiatsu kept increasing both of them and the boy vanished from there with a dark flash.
At the same time, Sora visited Mayuri who was standing there in a daze.
Sora: "Yo, finally lost your mind huh??"
Mayuri: "Who are you?? What do you know??"
Sora: "Glaring and yelling back while i had come to help you.... Sigh...."
Mayuri: "Your face is unpleasant...."
Sora: "Thanks i guess??"
Mayuri: "So what brought you here to my "lovely abode".???"
Sora: "One thing for sure i didn't come here to exchange hugs and kisses."
Mayuri: "So you must have something else up your mind."
Sora: "I guess you are right... I came down here to interrogate you a little bit..."
Mayuri: "And if i refuse??"
Sora: "Not an option!!!"
As Mayuri saw his cold eyes he expressed surprise, at that moment Sora started asking him certain nodes in his memories that everyone knew. He stated that his memories became confused, and their memories of a particular person disappeared shortly after this.
Mayuri: "What are you talking about???"
Sora: "I believe you and her, were both attacked at some point, and both became victims of the same enemy."
Sora: "Do you know what this is??"
Sora: "I had to search really hard for this..."
Sora pressed a button which opens the canister, revealing a brain connected to several tubes floating inside.
Mayuri: "I have no memory of this brain over there."
Sora: "Oh, i know that... But it's time that all of us regain something we have lost."
As the bars receded, Mayuri looked at Sora, who stated that they had up to some point regain their memories and they will begin the process of regaining what they have all lost.
Elsewhere, the boy and girl return to their house with Rukia still in pain but lesser than what it was prompting the girl to watch over Rukia for her wellbeing...
Rukia as she fell to sleep she was wondering inside her memories and she could feel it somewhere in her memory, that something was calling her.
As she did Rukia heard a bit of their conversation about the search party of the shinigami and grabbed the girl's arm and demanded she tells her the truth.
Stating she was not asleep this whole time, she asks what they were doing up until this moment which the girl said she has no idea.
Rukia: "You are lying!!"
Boy: "Rukia stop... She is saying the truth, we have been gone for a long time. It took us one hundred years to return here."
As Rukia expresses confusion, the boy moved to the girl and both said they finally made it back. Saying they came back to see Rukia, the girl stated it took them one hundred years.
As Rukia asks if they did this for her, the crying girl hugs her as the boy says all Shinigami are alike, for all they do is take things away.
Confirming this, the girl states they took everything away from them, including the happy things, the fun things, and Rukia. Leaving Rukia in a daze.
