(If you want to fully understand this story I'm trying to tell, then I highly recommend that you read can't fear your own world, spirits are forever with you, and we do KNOT always love you, as events from those novels are canon to this one. They are all canon in the OG Bleach so you will not be wasting your time I promise you. You don't have to read them if you don't want to, but if you have any questions about random gaps, then ask them in the comments and I will do my best to answer them.)
