[He knows he shouldn't take it out on her, not Rukia of all people but he feels both keyed up and drained at the same time from the confrontation. He knows better than that but this feels different.]

Sorry, just--... I know I'm not the only one seeing familiar people. Just knowing what's still going on at home is...

[Too close to his heart than he'd like. She said before that everything should turn out but it didn't change the fact that he's here and they're not. Not really.]

It's too--

[Much?]

How is anyone supposed to react to something like that?

[damn_juicebox]

I don't have any good advice for that. I'm sorry.

[And that's harder for her to admit than she could possibly imagine. She's always been the one to dispense wisdom and instructions to her protege, and she doesn't like being unable to do that. She bows her head in frustration, rubbing the back of her neck.]

Some encounters are pleasant, some sour. It differs for everyone.

[The ones she saw were incredibly stupid to the point where she sees no reason to share the experience with anybody.]

It's not just a coincidence. Doppelgangers are those who were brought to this world in a previous cycle, who died and were reborn into a new life with no memory of their previous existence. So in a sense, you did see your family. They just don't know you.

[blackmoonreaper]

... Looks like they're fine anyway.

[Rukia likely saw people that were close to her too and who knows, maybe she's feeling a little disjointed like he is now. Ichigo doesn't mean to put her on the spot as if she had all the answers yet he feels out of his depth like the others. He has to push his irritation down and he takes a breath in an attempt to refocus.]

... You managing to hold up with all this?

[damn_juicebox]

Yes.

[If she can manage a smile when she responds, then she probably means it. She's never really told him about Kaien, though he's likely wondered more than once about why so many people have told her that Ichigo looks like 'him.']

Perhaps I should be upset, or emotional, but I can't bring myself to feel that way. I was simply happy to see his face and hear his voice once more.

[And it helped that it wasn't a horrible villain or monster just using Kaien's appearance to lure her into dropping her defenses to attack and kill her.]

But that doesn't mean you have no right to feel differently.
