Week 1, post-execution

[bladeisme]

[All of this still feels like his fault somehow - like he's the one who's to blame for Terra killing Lion - and while he knows that's foolish, it doesn't stop him feeling like that.

So, he's wound back towards Ikea - even with the potential danger in it - staying close to the doors because he's not an idiot, but still on a bed facing the opening, drawing his knees up to his chest as he stares out onto the street and tries not to think about everything that's just happened.

He hates this goddamn Game.]

[ chiyo's just taking a walk to clear her head. after everything that's happened, she needs it. she's tired of this game, too.

she passes by ikea, and there's a flash of red-orange hair. at first she thinks it's just her reflection, but when she turns her head to look, it's ichigo.

man, he was so torn up during the trial. chiyo's got a Concern. she stops in front of the entrance and waves to him. ]

[bladeisme]

[He sees her wave, but beyond his eyes flicking towards her - with a look of sorrow and guilt deep inside of them - he doesn't move from his position, or even make any indication that he's seen her, like he normally would.

Sorry, Chiyo. If you want to talk to him, you'll have to actually come inside.]

[twobows]

[ chiyo frowns when he doesn't wave back. he just seems so...sad...and she's worried about him. ichigo is a nice person. he must feel so bad about all of this... so chiyo walks into ikea and takes a seat next to him. ] Um...Kurosaki-san?

[bladeisme]

....Sakura?

[He lifts his head - and it's obvious from the way his face looks, now that she's close enough to see it better, that he's been crying.]

...I didn't see you. Did you want something?

[He wipes at his face a little, before looking at her.]
