Or Maybe He Needed An Excuse To Keep Her From Being Seated - Tumblr Posts

does that mean Byakuya did the enlistment exam? probably interesting that he didnt want to subject Rukia to it maybe he thought it beneath her or maybe he needed an excuse to keep her from being seated if she took a standardized test and her score was 'seated officer range' it is harder to gaslight her i wonder if gaslighting her was part of his plan i would say no since Byakuya seems like someone who doesnt think it all the way through when it comes to feelings and that seems unnecessarily cruel but if his primary objective is to keep her safe then convincing her that she isnt very qualified might sway her from pursuing more dangerous roles so maybe i do like a ruthlessly efficient byakuya interpretation but i also like 'rich bitch byakuya' too in the sense that he doesnt want to deal with any of this so his word is law and he dramatically walks away leaving Ukitake (presumably) to figure out whatever the hell Byakuya has asked him to so Rukia kenpachi exams! ghost exams!
