0.hidden track: the rotator slips
[OOM, arguably pre-canon: If fate is a millstone, we are the ones that make it turn.]

Little does she know, it's going to happen eventually anyway.
"...if the dead here have lives of their own, as they would in Soul Society, I guess you're in no danger."

Thirdly, you would have to know him much better than to just look at him to discover how he is dark.
"I'm afraid I must get back to my cataloging! It was very nice seeing you, please come back soon! ♥!" He calls, backing through the door on his wooden sandals, half-bowed to someone in the other room.
Once he slides the door closed, the false cheer slides off his face for a moment as quickly as paint. Some people just will not take a hint.
