[This is the vaguest mystery ever. But, scan around and one thing will become apparent. Even if the second day was spent entirely clearing noise from the area, they're all back in full force, and they seem to be possessing more people than usual. These people have feelings of hopelessness, apathy and death. But just scanning them doesn't seem to give the answers why. If the mission can believed, this is not something the Reapers have done, but something to do with the world itself. Surely someone must know the truth....]

[Ryoji had looked at the door immediately as he heard it opening, a bit of morbid curiosity fueling his actions. Spotting just the person he is looking for causes him to be filled with relief and fear all at once, so it takes him a moment to finally stammer out Ichigo's name.]

Ichigo-san?

[tamedhollow]

Hm? [Ichigo is sure he heard his name. He turns, then notices Ryoji. A cold sense of dread settles into his stomach, like an icy stone. He swallows, then gives his best smile]

Ah, Ryoji. Hey. Didn't even see you there.

[notsogrimreaper]

It's fine. How are you?

[He offers a small smile back, though he still looks nervous and impatient.]

[tamedhollow]

Ah... fine. Fine. How are you... uh... feeling?

[how else to put something like that...]

[notsogrimreaper]

I feel alright. But... I can tell there's not much time.

[He fixes Ichigo with a steady gaze, forcing himself to stay calm.]

Have you decided what you're going to do?

[tamedhollow]

[Ichigo opts to avoid the question with one of his own]

How can you tell? Are you sure?

[notsogrimreaper]

It's getting harder to stay in control of Thanatos, and this form doesn't feel... natural any more. I can't be sure, but this is similar to how I felt the first time I transformed.

[Ichigo frowns. He knows he should do it. He knows he should just kill this guy while he has the chance.

But he can't. He can't bring himself to do it. It's his weakness. Killing people... is too much]

Just hang in there, Ryoji. The week's almost over.

[notsogrimreaper]

It may almost be over, but... how do we know it won't happen before the week's over?

Ichigo. I won't be angry with you. You know I want you to do it, and I promise, I won't feel any pain. I just want you and my friends to be safe, that's all.
