"How could this be??? Aren't Thought Beads supposed to exist as only one?"
"Wasn't that you?" Uchiha Hikaru said in surprise.
Then he suddenly remembered something!
Akane Shizuku seemed to reject this identity of hers. Simply put, Thought Beads were a substance produced when all abandoned souls and lost souls entered the Dangai.
Sometimes, they might be a round bead.
Other times, they might become a living creature, an animal, or a human.
Clearly, the Thought Bead born from this "Valley" space was humanoid! She walked through the world where all souls had once lived in human form.
She also continuously guided all lost souls.
But theoretically, such a Thought Bead should not exist in this world, because she was merely a thought, a fragment of memory.
Once she died, she would dissipate, leaving no trace behind in this world!
That was what a Thought Bead was, and Akane Shizuku resisted precisely that. She also did not want no one to remember her after she died.
She wanted proof as well—evidence that could prove she had once lived in this world.
Akane Shizuku yearned for such proof, but Uchiha Hikaru knew that if she truly died one day, no one in this world would remember her!

He had barely finished his previous sentence before denying it himself!
Akane Shizuku lowered her eyes slightly, looking somewhat sorrowful. "Although I don't know what's going on either!"
"The Thought Beads born in this space are indeed not just me alone."
"Ryudōji Yan Long, Little Sword, Little Cannon, Little Hammer, Little Beauty, and even Little Yi, who has already disappeared."
"They are all Thought Beads, at least in theory!!!"
Uchiha Hikaru immediately frowned. "Didn't Kisuke Urahara tell me
