In the midst of his preparations for the next battle, Renji asks the kitten to stop messing around. Renji tells him that he hasn't yet finished the dish he's cooking, but that he'll finish it later. He tells Renji that the smell of the dish reminds him of the time when he almost died, but Renji says that he can't remember that moment now because he is "a wimp." Renji assures the kitten that he won't miss the place.
