Yoruichi, Urahara, my father, they were pardoned and called in to replace Gin, Tousen, and Aizen. Urahara negotiated that deal. I couldn't even tell you who commands the Shinigami now - my latest news is three years out of date. I assume it's still the old man. His lieutenant fell, Soi Fon's lieutenant was dragged to Heuco Mundo and made into some kind of Arrancar - Renji killed him. I know Kira and Hinamori were presumed dead, I don't know if they were ever found. It was so chaotic at the end, no one knew what was happening. Snowy was on his deathbed, though he might have survived.

The others I don't even know what happened - after Aizen fell -.

Ishida, with his muttering and his mumbling, or bright, unfocusedly cheerful Orihime. Orihime won't see me any more.

It was the safest place either of us could think of for Yuzu.

My sisters and my father are supposed to kill me on sight. They haven't of course, I gather there's some some offical looking the other way at the Seireitei, but I only see them once or twice a year.
