Suzaku sat down on a small bench in the park of Karakura Town. He was all alone and he knew it. He was fighting an arrancar earlier when the arrancar, just before its death, said that his daughter had been killed. He didn't know if it was true or not, but, he finished the arrancar off. He sat there on the bench and pondered about how things have gone bad since he was accepted into the Minamoto heritage at birth. His mother disappeared, his brother became an arrancar, his father rebelled, his daughter, supposedly dead, was in Hueco Mundo, his son Lee betrayed and rebelled against Soul Society. He didn't know how to take it all in. It was slowly seeping into his skin as he sat there.

"I know it must be painful, but it isn't what you think. I sensed the presence of Mother, Father, another Minamoto, and other Shinigami before I came to the Living World. Father only rebelled to save Mother's life. You still have something to live for Suzaku, and I'm here for you." Kyouga explained honestly to his brother as he walked towards him, practically on the verge of tears.

Suzaku heard the voice of his brother but kept silent. He couldn't hear him for some reason, almost as if there hearts were distanced to far away from each other.

"Can't you hear me, Suzaku?" Kyouga asked as he attempted to place his hand on Suzaku's shoulder.

Suzaku's eyes were pale white, almost as if he wasn't really there. He sat there, motionless, looking at the same spot on the ground.

Kyouga right hooked his brother across the face, attempting to bring him back to his senses. "Open your eyes!" Kyouga yelled at his brother as he finally started to cry.

After a while, with no reaction from his brother, Kyouga wrote a letter to Suzaku that explained everything that he had attempted to tell him. It even said that he was going to leave to a faraway land, and he might not be back for a long time. Finally; Kyouga put the letter in Suzaku's lap, and he went back to The Waffle House as he dried his face of tears.

Suzaku's blank eyes continued to stare straight ahead. He couldn't move. If kyouga payed attention, he would know Suzaku was having an inner discussion with his zanpakto. After about 5 more minutes of this, he finally woke up, more cheered than he was before. He found the letter in his lap and read it. His face was covered in anger from the idiocy of his brother. His spiritual pressure burned the paper into nothing, as if it were never there.

"I'm not siding with anyone" He said. "I'm tired of losing my family and my friends, this whole thing needs to end"
He stood up and jumped through the trees of the park and flash stepped away.
