Bleach Unrated: REBOOTEDCurrent Arc: RejectionEpisode 475 "Benevolent Act": Reika Hitoshi watched her son, Jiro, dart around the house like a whirlwind. His auburn hair still tousled from his workout earlier, flopped into his eyes as he tried to shove a rice ball into his mouth while simultaneously packing food for later.
"Slow down, Jiro," Reika admonished gently. "You’ll choke."Jiro paused, rice ball halfway to his mouth, and gave his mother a sheepish grin. "Sorry, Mom. I just don’t want to keep Makino and the others waiting."Reika smiled warmly. "I understand, but it’s important to take care of yourself too. The Seireitei isn't going anywhere."Jiro nodded, though his foot continued to tap impatiently. He glanced at the door, as if willing Makino to appear so they could start their evening. "It’s just... after the quake, there's so much to do. I want to make a difference, you know?""I know," Reika said, pride evident in her voice. "You, Makino, and your friends are doing a wonderful thing, helping with the cleanup. Just remember to pace yourself."

Jiro finally sat down and took a proper bite of his rice ball. "I hope Makino's on her way," he said between bites. "We’re supposed to meet the other and report to the rescue cleaning crew for the late shift."Reika chuckled softly. "I’m sure they’ll understand if you’re a minute or two late. You two have been inseparable since you were kids; everyone knows how you are."As if on cue, a knock sounded at the door. Jiro sprang up, nearly knocking the table over in his haste. Reika shook her head fondly and followed him to the door."Hey, Makino!" Jiro greeted his friend enthusiastically.Makino, her hair neatly tied back and looking far more composed than Jiro, grinned. "Ready to save the day, Jiro?""Absolutely," Jiro replied, his eyes sparkling with determination. He turned back to his mother. "We’ll be back later, Mom. Don’t worry about us."Reika nodded, giving both teens an encouraging smile, and handed Jiro the food he had packed for them. "Be safe, and take care of each other.""We will," they chorused, before hurrying off, their spirits high despite the daunting task ahead.Moved
