[Rukia is quiet for a moment. She dislikes placing her worries on the shoulders of her friends, especially those she hasn't known for a long time. She really should just leave things unspoken, but if she does, she has a feeling he'll just worry more. If it really isn't as big a deal as she's claiming it to be, then why is she keeping such a tight lid on her feelings? Ah, well. He's sure to find out sooner or later, and if not from her, from Chappopo who was far more heartbroken about Rukia's 'true love' being lost forever than Rukia.]
The man I was dating has gone into Crystal Stasis. That is all.
[She crosses her wrists as she leans upon the railing, looking out at the landscape below.]
It happened to him several times before, so it wasn't a big shock, and to be honest, I'd expected it to happen much sooner. So while he is missed, I feel nothing but gratitude for the time we were able to spend while we were able. My concern now is whether or not I will be able to persuade my superiors to assist with the purchase of a sapphire crystal in order to protect this region from the Calamity's approach.
[Rukia glances at Mikleo.]
Do you think of me as heartless, for being unable to mourn?
