While Isshin has not commented on what happened during the anemoi expedition he organized a few days ago (He came home covered in dirt and feathers, and refuses to elaborate on why.), he just got the two anemoi gems that were his share of the haul processed, and as such, has gotten some memories back.

Which is why he's quickly striding towards his apartment while muttering "Not going to cry not going to cry..." over and over.

He made it back, opened the door, and found a poster waiting for him and tacked up on the wall so it's the first thing you see when you walk in. After taking it in, he immediately burst into tears and collapsed against the wall, like he was attempting to hug the person in it (much like in the picture.).

He is audible from quite some distance away.

[2% spent on his wife, Masaki (the lady on the poster) and that she was killed by Grand Fisher. These memories will probably make more sense when he knows what hollows are.]

Isshin, just what is all that rac-

[And upon seeing the giant poster of what he assumes to be an idol, does what he does best.]

What the heck is that eyesore?! Take it down!

DON'T TOUCH IT!

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

It's awful looking and clashes with everything! I'm not living with something like that on the wall.

[dadreaper.livejournal.com]

That poster is a picture of my d-dead...[sniffle]...dead wife, and if you take it down I will throw your ass out the window.

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

[Oh...Crap. Time to think fast to sound apologetic and still do whatever he can to get rid of the poster.]

Oh...I'm sorry. I thought it was a giant poster of an idol or something. But do you really want a poster that big and gaudy-looking to cheapen her obvious beauty?

[dadreaper.livejournal.com]

It's all I've got to remember her by, right now. It's either going here or in the bedroom.

[Do you want the gaudiness watching over you while you sleep, Ruby? DO YOU?]

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

No no! It can stay there. For now. I was just wondering if it would be better if you made it smaller and have it in a picture frame by your bed? More personal that way.

[dadreaper.livejournal.com]

Absolutely not.

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

And why not?

[dadreaper.livejournal.com]

Because I like it.

[press-b-to-run.livejournal.com]

It's still tasteless!

[dadreaper.livejournal.com]

Emphermal, changing things like taste are merely transitional compared to matters of the heart.

[The incident at the river shall never be mentioned again.]

Are you all right in there?

[dadreaper.livejournal.com]

MASAKI WHY!?!?! [SOB]

[stinglikeabat.livejournal.com]

So... is that a no?

[dadreaper.livejournal.com]

Deep breaths...deep breaths...

It just kind of hit me all at once. And then the poster...

[stinglikeabat.livejournal.com]

Is she someone you know?

[Alternatively, Isshin just gets really worked up by posters. This is a logical possibility.]

[dadreaper.livejournal.com]

She's my wife...

She was my wife.

[stinglikeabat.livejournal.com]

Oh. Er...

I am sorry for your loss.

[dadreaper.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'll live.
