The evening had been quiet, much more so than normal. Even the familiar tapping of buttons by Yukio was missing, along with Ginjo’s drunken ramblings. Slender arms had crossed one another, all the while a small sigh escaped Jackie’s lips. Had Riruka inquired about such a subject earlier, the woman would’ve given her a clear answer.
“…I’m not sure. You, as well as everyone else, knew how much I disliked my Fullbring. And yet…on the night Giriko had died, I had felt somewhat envious towards him. He had held his own, using it whenever possible, until the end.” A small pause had struck the woman, letting her own words sink, contemplating somewhat. “I remember telling Yukio that our Fullbrings are what held us together. We were all alone in the world, yet all of us had one thing in common. It’s what brought us with one another in the first place.“
Nodding some, the pinkette remained silent as her counterpart spoke. Once Jackie’s words aired then soon sunk into her, she parted her lips to vociferate her thoughts. "So do you feel like you aren’t together with us any more?” She asked. "You said our Fullbring is what held us together.“"Look at us now. Even with our Fullbring, some of us drifted apart from each other. –Not that we had a chance to stick together. They all disappeared. Maybe that’s wrong, Jackie. Maybe our Fullbring isn’t what brought us together.” Aren’t you here with me, even without your Fullbring? Perhaps that was the excuse Xcution had used because they didn’t want to admit the bonds they had accidently formed. Perhaps, it wasn’t their Fullbring, but actual attachment itself. “We came together sharing one purpose. To bite back at the world. It was our turn, right? That was what kept us together.”
Her memory had been vague, and she could not remember much after she had placed herself into the shinigami Kuchiki Rukia, but she had found in the midst of her memories– Jackie’s Fullbring was gone, wasn’t it?
She was, after all the only one who truly despised her Fullbring. So that was a good thing, was it not? It was better for her. Though, Riruka couldn’t help but feel slightly despondent when thinking of someone losing something they had been with for almost all of their life. Did Jackie miss her Fullbring?
“–Do you miss it?” She asked abruptly, looking up from the ground from their boots to the older female’s face. “You Fullbring, I mean.”
"Look at us now. Even with our Fullbring, some of us drifted apart from each other. –Not that we had a chance to stick together. They all disappeared. Maybe that’s wrong, Jackie. Maybe our Fullbring isn’t what brought us together.” Aren’t you here with me, even without your Fullbring?
