On Day 5, (Y/N) was in the middle of a deep sleep, however...

You're wasting your time, being all buddy buddy with these Shinigamis. You should've been using this time to get stronger. We need to get back at Aizen!

Oh, it's you. I don't think we've actually talked since the day of the execution. So, why are you suddenly so interested in talking to me?

Because you're slacking off! You saw the difference between us and those Captains. Most of the captains here outclass us! You think we'll be a guest here for all eternity? They could choose to turn on us at any moment.

Okay, now you're just overreacting.

Am I? Why did they suddenly decide not to kill you guys after Aizen decided to betray them? You don't truly believe that they had a sudden change of heart did you?

Well not every captain agreed with the execution. What are you trying to get at?

They saw how we handled the first two captains. They're going to use us to kill Aizen and discard us afterward.

I don't buy it.

You're too naive! You should be using them to strengthen yourself and study up on their weaknesses!

Let's say everything you said was true, do you truly believe every single captain in the Seireitei would turn against us the moment this entire situation is finished? If they see us as a threat, there's no way they would risk allowing us to get anywhere near Aizen's level of power.

You're too kind! You keep giving them the benefit of the doubt that they wouldn't betray the trust that you put in them! I have to be the selfish one out of the two of us just so we could be safe! I told you before and I'll tell you again. If you die, I die! And I'm far too selfish to sacrifice my life out of kindness. So if you falter once, I WILL take over, you got that! Never forget, you're the Emperor! If you can't lead, someone stronger will!

I get what you're saying. I don't want to stay weak forever. But I don't think they're the people you think they are.

He's not responding. *sign* Of course he isn't.

(Y/N) woke up immediately, but the conversation had put (Y/N) in a bad mood. (Y/N) understood his "other half" had their best interest in mind but he didn't like the methods he suggested. (Y/N) found it hard to call that particular individual his "other half" considering his attitude and outlook. (Y/N) had come to the conclusion that this other (Y/N) was his "hollow" powers however he had never confirmed it within the three conversations they had. However if (Y/N)'s theory is correct, it might be the reason why he was so hostile.

Getting out of bed, (Y/N) decided that he should face his fears and meet up with Captain Kurotsuchi. The guy freaked him out by appearance alone. It doesn't help that the guy doesn't have the best reputation. He heard how crazy the captain was in passing but decided he shouldn't take rumors at face value. If anyone had good information on Hollows that (Y/N) could learn from, it's him.

(Y/N) felt a bit stupid not really doing his own research on Hollows considering one of his core abilities allows him to summon Hollows. It doesn't help that he now recently found out he has Hollow abilities himself.

After asking some passing shinigami for directions, (Y/N) made his way towards the Shinigami Research and Development Institute. After almost thirty minutes of walking, (Y/N) made it to his destination. The Shinigami gulped before mentally preparing himself to enter the building.
