You may not realize it, but you actually have the potential to become a Shinigami,\" Kyūjō explained gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words hit Byakuya like a slap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breath caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This truth—this hope—was something he had long buried under quiet regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always known Hisana's soul was weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lifespan of ordinary souls in Soul Society usually doubled that of humans, but hers…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hers was fragile. Delicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd consulted the best Kaidō healers across the Gotei 13.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But every effort ended in disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, he had never once considered asking Kyūjō.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was pride or denial, he had refused to acknowledge the man who defeated him every month could also heal better than any Division 4 expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after Kyūjō cured Ukitake Jūshirō's lifelong illness, Byakuya brushed it off as mere coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō raised a hand, as if calming a troubled spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax, Byakuya. Her condition's not hopeless, but it is complicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Hisana again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The problem goes back to your time in Rukongai. Malnutrition and years of hardship caused damage to your spiritual body—long-term degradation, really.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I'll say this—your will to live is incredible, Hisana.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō gave her a soft smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most souls in your condition would've already reincarnated. You? You endured. If it were someone else, their grave grass would be two meters tall by now—ah, sorry, I mean, they'd be long gone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hisana chuckled, while Byakuya shot Kyūjō a sharp look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But surviving in such a damaged state has side effects,\" Kyūjō continued. \"Your spirit particle circulation burns out faster than normal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And to make matters worse… you're emotionally burdened, aren't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Negative emotions speed up Reiatsu loss. If this keeps going, your soul may not last another five years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hisana lowered her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byakuya froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew she was weak—but not like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kyūjō!! You have to save her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byakuya stood abruptly, gripping Kyūjō's shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If there's anything—any way at all—tell me! I'll do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō placed a hand over his and gently pushed him back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Easy. I didn't say it's impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first step is helping her let go of that emotional weight. As for fixing the damage to her soul... we'll need help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we work together, I believe we can restore her. And who knows—she might even awaken her Shinigami potential someday.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byakuya's heart slowly steadied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glimmer of hope returned to his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\" he asked, voice steady now. \"Name him.
