"We may have lived among the lowest of the low, but she always shined. Day after day, night after night, we were together. And so, though we didn't realize it at the time, we had become a family. That was what we had to do. It was how we survived........
.......Each of us had come to this merciless town on their own. Each of us struggled alone, until finally we came together out of necessity.
In order to survive, we became a family."
-Renji Abarai, Bleach Episode 32
