Очередная порция спойлеров TDSTS, на этот раз про Рукию и Бьякую

On Rukia's flashback,　she was in shock when she first saw the picture of Hisana because they look soo similar (ps: at that time Rukia didn't know Hisana was her sister). She thinks Byakuya really loves Hisana, otherwise he wouldn't adopt a Rukongai citizen like her,who looks similar to his wife. Hence Rukia decided to become Hisana herself in order to repay him on his kindness..until decades later when she finally learns the truth that Byakuya adopts her isn't because he wants to find a person that looks like his wife.

Hence, On the day of her Vice Captain promotion, Rukia cuts her hair, because she knows she has build a deep bond with Byakuya, her appearance is not that important anymore, so there is no need to keep the same hairstyle that Hisana has. When Rukia became Vice Captain, Byakuya calls her to his room and presents her a samite box.Rukia then opens the box, it is a pair of white gloves which made with silk, also there's a Kuchiki clan symbol thorn inside the glove. Rukia soon realise this was custom-made specially for her. Byakuya then tells Rukia after becoming a Vice Captain, chances of using zanpakuto will be frequent.Her zanpakuto is an ice type so wearing this gloves will not catch cold or suffer frostbite very easily. Rukia can't help herself but to take a deep bow to express her gratitude towards Byakuya while holding her gloves.

The story also mentions that the reason Rukia is able to promote to be a Vice captain, is because of the recommendation from Byakuya. Also in one other part when Rukia finally found a way to regain Ichigo's power and went on to ask for help from all the team, she falls down carelessly, causing her nose to turn red. When she returns to Kuchiki house, Byakuya noticed her red nose, yet he did not ask what happen. However when Rukia returns to her room, Byakuya went straight to Hisana's altar, facing the portrait of Hisana and speak softly: "should I ask what happened...?"
То есть действительно это он подарил ей перчатки. Трогательно.

про Комамуру и Нанао
> Komamura is the one that persuaded Yamajii after Rukia, to help Kurosaki Ichigo regain his former power.

> Nanao did meet with Lisa. She asked if Nanao wanted her to read for her but she thought Nanao is big enough for that. Cue Nanao hugging her senpai. She's showing a different side of her than when she is with Kyouraku
