In the present, Rukia opened her eyes wide open when she finally remembered everything, she finally realised why she was on the hill there all alone...
Rukia: "I remember now, when i had woken up at that time you two were gone, but i forgot about it for some reason."
Sora: "That was probably the hollow erasing your memories of them so that he can leach on them."
Sora: "Not only that the boy and girl possess a special ability to perform teleportation, and they likely placed the Hollow into their own bodies moments before they died in order to protect you."
Sora: Which made the already dead Shinigami's body to withers and disintegrates."
Sora: "As the two of them were on their last straw of breath, the Hollow did not realize it had become parasitically attached to a dead body, and rushed back to Hueco Mundo."
The two of them vague recalled that as they took over the Hollow's consciousness in the process, in the past, the boy and girl's bodies dissipate, and they emerge from a cloud of dust in Hueco Mundo.
Sora: "Their overwhelming desire to see you, their first friend, sustained them and brought them back to you."
Girl: "So now Rukia you remember.... We are really sorry for lying to you about what happened, we didn't want you to be upset because we had died."
Rukia: "Your lives had not ended..."
Rukia: "Look at what happened.... You came back to see me and are a part of my life, which makes me very happy.
Boy: "We wanted to see you again."
Girl: "That' because you are the only friend we have ever had."
Shaking her head, Rukia says they were never alone, for the most important person of all was next to them the entire time.
As the boy and girl look at each other, Rukia states it has all come back to her and she remembers their names.
Rukia: "Your names are Homura and Shizuku."
Sora: "It means "the two of you shine brightly"."
As Shizuku and Homura repeat their names, which are what they wanted to hear, their eyes shined with happiness....
Homura: "They are truly nice names."
Shizuku: "I'm very happy..."
Homura reached out her hand towards him, and he grabbed her hand, Shizuku thanks Rukia. At that moment lights started going out of their bodies making Rukia tear up as she saw they fading...
Homura: "I guess it is time to say goodbye."
Byakuya and Renji along the others who had arrived were seeing this scene and then they saw Sora who had a poker face as if he didn't care.
At least that's what they thought but then they saw him drawing his sword and walking towards them.
Sora: "Sigh..... Doing charity is so difficult..."
Kyouka and many others started laughing at his words because no one could make him help others if he didn't want to...
But if he wanted to help them who could stop him??
He reached next to the halfway fading figures of Homura and Shizuku, before stabbing with his sword in their hearts...
When he did so time and space froze... It was like the cut in the stab started devouring the lights back and way more than that before their bodies started stabilizing...
To everyone's surprise, their white ragged clothes got replaced with black ones similar to those of shinigami....
Sora: "Ah!!! I didn't want to turn them into one..... Oh well, consider this a gift..."
Rukia was speechless, one second she had started letting her tears fall uncontrollably as they watched them fading and now her eyes were wide open as she watched them alive and kicking...
