Checkmate

HIS body, frail, shaking, pressed against Aizen as he forced his gaze from the ground where that shattered Monster Ball lay--just like Raticate, Raticate, why, why, why--when he noticed Green talking, words he could not hear, and he could not read lips, he was sure Green was insulting him.
