This moment is everything, there are so many details that I love about this scene... the close-up of Ichigo's eye as he sees Rukia silhouette, his stunned expression and Rukia's soft smile, the way the rain is gone when he sees her again... I'm sobbing
but Rukia with just a glance realizes how tense he is and this time she's the one who says him to stay back and doesn't let him fight
Ichigo is a protector but he must be protected and comforted when he is not feeling well
