The camera clicked on, to a man sitting up in one of the forth division bed. The silver haired man looked off into space, zoned out. However, a slight movement caused his eye to turn to the camera. "Ran... what are you doing?"

"I'm making a video," the woman stated.

The man, whose eyes were almost never open, had them open at this point, his pale colored eyes showing through. "Ran... please... not now. I'm not in the mood."

"You're not in the mood?" Rangiku asked, her tone becoming dark. "That isn't the Gin I know. Are you going to let the fact that you failed in your attempt to stop Aizen, and the fact that you had to be rescued get to you?"

"It's more then that. I failed to protect you," Ichimaru stated, turning his head away.

"Would it really hurt you, to tell taicho what you like about him?" the woman sighed. "I didn't think, when I started this video, think that I would get to interview you. I'm sure that he would want to hear what you have to say."

"Chibi taicho... want to hear what I have to say?" Gin let out a breath of air from his nose. "Sure... he really wants to be cheered up from not liking himself, from someone who used to always tease him, and poke fun of him."

"You did that because you liked him," Matsumoto stated.

"He won't get that Rangiku! He's at a stage where he's heading into puberty. He also takes anything negative as an insult, even though it isn't intended that way. As much as I like him, he won't want to listen to what I have to say off some stupid video. Turn your camera off!" Ichimaru's hands clenched the sheets.

"Knock it off... I am not leaving, until you say something," Rangiku muttered.

Suddenly, Gin reached out and placed his hand over the lens. "I said no Ran!"

However, Rangiku slapped his hand away. "You've got to stop living in your own little world, and start opening up to the people around you!"

This caused the man to let out a sigh. "I am not in my own little world anymore. Because of that, I'm not going to put on that stupid mask I've always put on, which I hate about myself right now, to tell him a bunch of lies, that the world is a happy place, when it isn't."

"Gin... looks like I need to make a video for you too..." came the sigh.

"Ran... you would be the only one on the video," the man paused. "I do have things to say to Shiro-chan, but they are private, things that I want to be said between me and him, that deserve a good, heart to heart talk, not some video, and no mask of pretending... and trying to hide the truth. I'll explain later, after you've finished the video, and have shown it too him. I've got a feeling, he'll really need to be cheered up."
