[Ichigo...freezes, for the first time he's been here. He could take blood, people dying...but to be asked to kill someone? That was...something he never expected, and it feels like someone just stabbed him in the chest.
But he doesn't freeze for long. Quietly, he follows Niles down to the floor, staying in front on him so Niles can see him easily.]
...I can't. I can't do that for you.
[Not just because the raccoons might decide to execute him for the murder, but...because he doesn't want to. Was it cowardice, or...?]
...But...if you want to talk, I'll listen. Or if you want me to leave, I will.
