- Kuchiki Byakuya: Where are you going, Renji?
- Abarai Renji: [pause, whole body sweats; fist clenches as he fights being overwhelmed by Captain Kuchiki's spirit force] I am going... to save Rukia.
- Kuchiki Byakuya: [brief pause; voice neutral] I do not permit it.
- Abarai Renji: [louder, sounds & looks determined] I'm going!
- [the Captain stands there silently; Renji turns to face him]
- Abarai Renji: Is there no way you could let me pass?
- Kuchiki Byakuya: [brief pause] I will not say it twice.
