"but it...." Gio just sighs " Sir, i apologize in advance for my insolence... but I must disagree. while you are correct leadership should fall to someone within the corp I think you are...." he paused to choose his words carefully "i understand that i know very little, but what i do know i know well. we have very few captains in the Gotei, by that i mean we dont have 13, and we are missing one for the corps. and all this falls on you. I dont know if you have a lieutenant or who they are to assist you with the operations of the squads but they are, for the most part, autonomous. they do their own thing and you mobilize them when necessary. You give leadership to..well everyone and the severity of that position, that burden, that responsibility is insurmountable. as you said the Corps falls on the back burner. so long as the open the Senkaimon properly everything else they do doesnt really matter when compared to the day to day protection and policing of the soul society as a whole. Sir... something has to change and to that end i would like to volunteer myself to do what ever it takes to assist you in the pursuit of said change. " he looked up at the head captain as a display of his resolve.
