Aizen's words sounded like a suggestion, yet they struck directly at Natsuki Subaru's problem.
Although he still did not know what the other had experienced.
Aizen could tell from his behavior so far.
This was a young man whose mind had not yet matured and whose aptitude was quite mediocre.
Yet it was precisely such a person who claimed to possess the ability of "Return by Death."
He had even appeared in this Star Council and met him.
In Aizen's view, whether it was luck or not, this was Natsuki Subaru's exceptional quality.
His gaze then returned to Imu, seated directly across from him at the Star Round Table.
"Pardon me, Lord of Stars."
"It appears that every invitee possesses something unique."
"Perhaps that is the very purpose behind your creation of this council: exchange and mutual benefit."
These words were both a probe into Imu's attitude and a reminder to the now-seated, thoughtful Natsuki Subaru.
They also laid the groundwork for Aizen's subsequent actions.

A white ghost with round black eyes and pink sausage lips truly flew out of her palm, floating beside her.

The strangest thing he had encountered was Petelgeuse's "Unseen Hand."
"That's right, a Ghost~"
"I'm a Paramecia Hollow-Hollow
