[The inside of the Porter's room can be seen, but the one holding it can't be seen yet.]

No! Not yet! Send me back, I was so close!

[The voice is distinctly Ichigo's, but it sounds unnatural and reverberates just like Shiro's voice does. When he finally notices the camera, he turns it to his face, which is covered up by an unnaturally shaped skull mask with red lines along the side.

After a moment, he reaches up and pulls off the mask, which dissolves into a black energy then fades away. When he speaks again, it's in his natural voice.]

This damn machine has the worst timing!

[He's quiet for a long time. He hasn't left the building or moved. He's just leaning against the wall. He sounds a bit defeated.] How long have I been gone?

[Hmm, maybe with the way he replied, it wouldn't hurt to continue on the subject just a little bit...]

I don't doubt you did, but it's okay if things didn't turn out quite like you thought they would, too.

There were... They would have. You were about to be safe. I was going to make sure of that.

I see... But you shouldn't worry either, Kurosaki-kun, because everything will work out in the end. We'll just have to wait a while first.

Nope, it isn't at all. I mean, we're here and we're all okay, right? I think that's what matters most here!

You're right. So, we should try to have some fun here while we can. [He's not going to mention the bad parts that she hasn't seen yet.]

Uhn! Even if we won't remember it back home, it'll still be good to have a break here. It's nice not having to worry about any upcoming battles.

There might be a way to keep our memories from here that I just don't know about.

...And I'll still protect you when something happens here.

Maybe! It's definitely something that'll need to be looked into more.

[She hopes he doesn't feel some obligation to always protect her, because she still can do her best to protect herself too. Not to mention there's her own issue where she doesn't want to have to rely on him for so much.]

I- ... Thank you.

We can ask around and see if there is anyone that was able to remember their time here when they went back home.

[Sorry, Inoue, you could be Byakuya level strong, and he would still be protective.]

We should! It would be cool if we could remember all this when we went back home! But I don't think I'd be too surprised if we couldn't either.

You never know!
