Shihoin Yoruichi's words of comfort to Soifon made all the captains present turn their faces away in unspoken agreement after hearing them.
Come on, Shihoin Yoruichi.
Some things were better left understood in one's heart.
Once they were spoken aloud, everyone would be embarrassed.
Who was Shihoin Yoruichi?
The former Head of the family of the Shihoin Family, one of Seireitei's Four Great Noble Houses.
