"…And since then, I've been fighting. In missions, operations, and commissions…But I haven't felt my Martial Heart awaken ever since then," Kane sighed, sitting opposite Rui as they enjoyed a cup of tea while Kane narrated his visit to the Arrancar Household to Rui, keeping a few embarrassing details from him.
Rui found his tale to be fascinating, especially the part of how he apparently had gained a massive advantage due to his prolonged youth. It made sense in hindsight, something he should have figured out. Thankfully, he would benefit from it nonetheless.
Regardless, he put that matter aside for the time being.
His friend needed his help, after all.
"I don't know what to do, at this point," Kane sighed.
Rui had thought that there wasn't too much to be lost by breaking through a few years later than earlier, but apparently, he was wrong. Kane was twenty-eight, just like himself. The later he broke through, the less of his prime he would be able to maintain.
