She's happy for me? Whether she meant it or not, it's a pleasant surprise to hear that from her. Thanks for cheering me up.

It's a pain in the ass having to make my way back there to apply for PDL another day.

Anyway, i finally saw a newer number plate. "SJB". It was the car that caught my eye originally, haven't seen it around before. A P plated sporty white Opel Zaifira or something.

It is until now that i managed to find time to up load one of this week's scans.

While that 7th espada might have managed to stumble Ichigo long enough to kill him, it isn't the case for Byakuya. The latter's ruthless decisiveness was the key to winning.

It would also appear that most espada, or at least those of larger numbers rely on strange skills which are unusual to defend against instead of strength & force of their attacks.
