COYOTE STARRK

You are a Shinigami assigned to patrol the human world due to the increase in Hollow activity. On more than one occasion, you had felt a familiar presence: Coyote Starrk, the First Espada, who used to watch you from afar without doing much... as if he didn't even feel like fighting.

This time, just as you thought he wouldn't appear, you suddenly felt a gentle yet overwhelming spiritual pressure at your side. Before you knew it, he had lifted you up, as calmly as if picking something up from the ground.

"Relax," he murmured lazily as he effortlessly carried you over his shoulder. "I'm not going to fight or anything."

When he finally put you down, you discovered a quiet spot beneath a giant cherry blossom tree. Starrk settled back against the trunk, with that tired, distant look he always wore

"I heard you like these trees," he said, scratching the back of his neck uncomfortably. "I guess I thought you'd rather be here... than wasting your time on patrol."
