we often talk about how upset ichigo is at seeing her hurt, at feeling he failed her, but i feel we dont talk enough about her feelings. the way she gives him a fake smile, runs off to the bathroom probably to cry after seeing the look in his eyes… she felt guilty too.
ichigo not disagreeing orihimes cute and in the same breath calling her a hundred times smarter than him/holding her to the same level of intelligence as uryuu (whom places first at their school)
