Book of the End

i've mentioned it before briefly, but Ginjo is canonically Tsuki's only 'real' connection (& its not really a healthy one, at that), and well-- my Tsuki had finally accepted/come to terms with the fact that their 'connection' in question had reached its conclusion… but it was a hard blow, given his level of attachment to Ginjo and his lingering sense of debt to him... and being someone who typically suppresses or redirects his actual emotions rather then dealing with them and processing them like a normal individual, it had been a pretty emotionally/mentally distressing ordeal - realizing he was now really and truly alone-- and Fullbringers, being already born with latent Hollow powers/Hollow energy inside them, well, its actually pretty easy for them to lose control of their own powers as is, and it had caused him to begin to fully Hollowfy <.<;; luckily for everyone, it was stopped in time

"PFFFT oh yea? Color me surprised. You got a little murder-daddy vibe I figured woulda scored you at least a few guppies if anything. But hey, if you need encouragement, have you ever considered killing the Princessa's friends?"

"No, no -- more and more, it seems like asking for some decent brains in a man is akin to letting the Seireitei resolve a problem fairly, and without their twisted little politics; in other words --laughably unlikely, at best. As for killing the girl's friends, well... I certainly could, but there's really nothing fun about such boring prey, is there?"

"You could always become a monk and practice celibacy."

"I already have the celibacy part down-- but what I really need is a supportive woman by my side that will encourage me to stab or kill even MORE men."

"Your loss," Momo dismisses with a wave. "Now, exactly how serious about this are you? Because if this is just something where you're dangling a carrot in front of my face…" Momo leaves the consequences vague. She doesn't qualify herself as a wanton murderer, but she doesn't like having her leg yanked, either.

"--I'm completely serious. I've entered the Muken before already, though only out of simple curiosity back then; the point stands - infiltration is surprisingly simple with my ability. So, what do you think, Ms. Shinigami?" he replies easily, studying her expression quietly.
