Summary

Once returned to normal, Mr. Pork tries to demand payment, but Riruka cows him with a threat of her power before handing him a phone and ordering him to answer any future summons within fifteen minutes. She then lets Ichigo leave as well, and Kugo tells him to rest for several days so his body can mend.

At Sado's place, Tsukishima greets Orihime while Shishigawara insists on handling her himself. Tsukishima silences him, shaping the bookmark in his novel into a blade, and names the weapon as his Fullbring, Book of the End, denying it is a Zanpakuto. He assures Orihime he means her no harm for now and intends only to discipline his disobedient underling, yet she plants herself between them, refusing to let the man who hurt Uryu simply walk off. Meanwhile Sado, walking home with Ichigo and chatting about the bread Orihime keeps leaving him, reaches his door and senses her Reiatsu turn wrong, crying out that something has happened to her.
