    For a moment, you're a child on the farm again; you thought it was just a patch of ground, but then you saw the adder.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "The Presence and the Absence both exist," he said, "real and immutable. We mortals turn between them, reflecting in turns the darkness and the light. And more, we mirror the infinite souls who turn around us - the flashes of kindness, the shadows of despair. Like a shifting kaleidoscope, we catch and transmit the great, beautiful confusion of human hearts."

    Rukia recognized a eulogy when she heard one, and for a while she held a respectful silence. "But we choose, don't we?" she asked finally, as if compelled. "We decide which way to turn."

    "It is our great privilege and our great curse." The Espada leader stepped a little closer, so that he stood by Rukia's shoulder, and together they stared down at the little engraved stone. "This one always chose well," he sighed. "She brightened places that had long been dark."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    A measure of justice had been found for the dead, Hitsugaya thought, but justice, fairness—it was just as much for the living; for him, for Matsumoto, and for a Captain with a ragged haori and an eyepatch and his hyperactive little pink menace.

    Summary

    When Tobirama sets out to improve the Shunshin, he hardly expects to dip his feet into the natural laws of time and space. Manipulating those is historically, impossibly tricky, but Tobirama is nothing if not stubborn — he blames his Mother for that though he never met her — so he approaches as cautiously as he can. Hashirama needs him faster for war, for peace, for safety, and not even the Shinigami could deter Tobirama from something if his brother needed him — that he blames on his Father for obvious reasons — so Tobirama retires to his office and creates. The process is tedious, but the Hiraishin is finished in the last year of the Warring States, just in time to use it against Izuna. In one world, the Uchiha dies, but the Hiraishin is fickle and a wild thing caged — Tobirama likes to think they are similar in that way, that that is why the universe pulls just tight and thin enough when he looks at it to show him this — and so, in another world, the Uchiha lives; the rest of the world reshapes itself accordingly.
