This night Aimi was haunted by a number of nightmares and felt how her air was constricting. She woke up with a silent scream and had palpitations. She had dreamed of her brother's death and it was as if it had been real, as if that moment had really been all over again in her life. The first thing she saw was the hollow attacking her brother. He had pushed her away to protect her, then everything was dark. She heard cracks and scratches, then the cruel screams, and finally a terrible silence. Aimi looked around and knew it was just a dream. Slowly she got up and got dressed. Shuhei was still not quite on her feet again and yet she finally wanted to know who had done this to him. Immediately she made her way to him and saw that he was one of the few who was still there. "I have to know ..." Aimi said excitedly and today she wouldn't let herself get rid of. "Now tell me at last," asked Hisagi, who looked at her guiltily and was silent. Then it was handed to the young commandant. She walked over to him and grabbed his hand. "You have never withheld anything from me, whatever you are trying to hide from me will not do me more harm than your current breach of trust," she said seriously and Shuhei looked at her apologetically. "He wants to see you ..." he said finally, getting up in pain. "He said you should come to this place," he added, holding out a piece of paper. "Believe me, you shouldn't do this. It's a trap," he whispered desperately, but knew just as well that he couldn't stop her. Aimi looked at the scrap of paper and then looked at Shuhei. "Thank you," she said softly and breathed a gentle kiss on the soft lips for the first time in their long time together in Soul Society and their childhood. Hisagi froze when he tasted her sweet lips and then something salty. Tears ran down her face. Aimi held the kiss for a while, as she painfully realized that she might not return. She finally looked him in the eye and let only a soft "Gomen nasai" come over her lips before she made her way to the said meeting point.

When she got there, everything was quiet. She knew that this could mean her death and she recognized the place. She crouched down, stroked a stone on her right that had deep nicks in it, then reached to her left and clawed her hand into the hard ground. Everything came up in her again. She sank to her knees now and kept apologizing. "I'm sorry ... I'm so sorry, I didn't want anything to happen to you," she whispered into the wind and then felt steps approaching her. "Niisan" burst out of her now and she hated herself for not being able to save him.She got up and turned to the person she was already expecting. "I was hoping to see you here," she heard him say gently, while he beamed at her with a warm smile and opened his arms to close her. "Seiji-nii-san" cried Aimi and stopped. He laughed and it wasn't her brother's laugh. "Isn't it wonderful? Just see what happened to me," he laughed almost madly. "I became a hollow and finally a man again, I'm not like the Vizards, I look more like an arrancar. He pointed to his hollow hole and grinned." It doesn't hurt at all, "he said and Aimi tensed up." Aizen has it makes it possible for me, he makes this body possible for me, "he shouted contentedly and snapped his finger, whereupon gin appeared next to him." Come with us, then you can also become something wonderful ", Seiji promised his sister, whereupon she just moved on removed him. "I will never do anything like that. I've always prayed for you, wanted you to find redemption and now that's you, "she scoffed and pulled her Zanpakutou. Gin grinned and opened his eyes a crack, which was never a good sign. Aimi held her weapon in her hand and trembled wanted to attack. Before she noticed anything, she was already lying on the floor and slowly went black in front of her eyes. All she heard was a faint "Such a naughty girl" before she finally lost her consciousness completely ...

Flashback
"nii-saaaaan" you could hear a young girl's voice calling out. The tall, dark-haired young man turned around and smiled. "Aimi-chan, you should stay at home" he said calmly and the younger one beamed at him. "I know, but I wanted to say goodbye to you. You will be gone for so long," said the little one and the older one patted her hair. "I'll be back soon imoto," he whispered lovingly and took her in his arms. "I love you nii-san, you are the best brother in the world" she laughed with her bell-clear voice and snuggled up against her brother. "Aimi, promise me that Shuhei, Toshiro and you won't do any nonsense while I'm gone," he began when he saw a dark-haired boy jump over to him. "I take care of Aimi-chan, there is no better guardian than me" Shuhei grinned broadly and grabbed Aimi's hand. "I'll take care of her while she cooks the food and does the laundry ..." he recited as if he were Aimi's husband. Aimi pouted and poked him in the stomach. "No, not right. You are not my watchdog, I am much faster and stronger than you" giggled Aimi and kissed her brother on the cheek before she ran away and gave her wonderful laugh again.

Flashback end

Aimi opened her eyes a little and felt pain arise in her. She was definitely not in Soul Society anymore. She got up and looked at a window in a white room. She went over and looked out.Everything was bleak, that wasn't her home, that was the place that no one could ever describe in more detail. That was the place where the Hollows were born. She was in Hueco Mundo ...
