It arrives on fine parchment, with gold embossing at the edges. The handwriting is ornate and flawless, having been perfected many centuries ago, although it does look a bit stilted in the language of this world. Still, despite its outward appearance of nobility, it's obviously written by Shunsui!
Ichigo-kun,
Please forgive me for not seeking you out earlier. There have been some personal issues I've been taking care of, as it seems that even here they follow me!
I hope that you're doing as well as can be expected, I realize waking up here is quite jarring. I still wake up expecting to be home...but I suppose that can't be remedied.
I'm simply writing to let you know that should you need anything, I'm always here. And I'd like to take you to dinner in the capital sometime soon, should you like to do! There's much to discuss, and plenty to be amused by!
Compared to Shunsui's letter, Ichigo's is... pretty plain. It's on simple paper, and his handwriting has had a fraction of the time to get fancy, but hey, he does what he can.
Kyouraku-san,
It's good to hear from you, and I'm really glad you're here. If you're anything like me, you'd rather be back in Soul Society and dealing with Yhwach right now, but if I'm going to be stuck here, I'd rather have all the backup I can get.
I'm getting used to this place as well as I can. It feels strange having my powers removed again, you must know how that feels. I've managed to accept I'm stuck here like this until the time comes where they send us back, though, so I'm going to have to get used to it.
Dinner sometime sounds nice. You should invite Inoue and Keigo, as well, I'm sure they'd appreciate the meal and discussing the whole situation. I've been told you've been here a lot longer than the rest of us, so you probably know more than us three put together.
