（ he made a point of it, after ginjō. he'd fought panicked and scared before, but never without his vision. that fear had carried over into his training, and while he wouldn't call himself proficient, he's decent enough. ）

（ old man yama comes to mind. he didn't know the guy well enough to grieve, but the impact of his loss echoed throughout seireitei. he's never forgotten that urahara's spirit blade was forged on his order. ）
probably like 3000 or so i guess.
but i was born in the human world. aged normally. went to school. i thought i was human until not too long ago.
and yeah, they do. but a shinigami is born in the spirit world and ages there. it just wasn't the path of my life.
