Very easy to visualise is my first thought upon reading this, and very thorough. Well done.

Lines I particularly liked were the 'push and pull' ones because I don't know, I guess I like the simplicity of the description.

I also enjoyed Ichigo's 'No' as he looks to Renji, what does this indicate? Perhaps it's something dark in the story, like he lost a friend in the war or something...I don't know...I'm obviously reading into it too much but I liked it all the same. Excellently written - as always.
