— That's not the point. It's simply a way of expressing that I truly care for you, even though we had our rivalry in the past. —

— I imagine such an act must have been painful... and cruel for all those who betrayed you. I hope I don't do anything that will enrage you. — He is unaware of how strong Harribel has become, and angering her is something the captain does not want.

— I'm sorry they did this to you, especially since a queen like you shouldn't be... stabbed in the back like that. —

— I was referring entirely to your three most loyal followers, Mila, Sung, and Apacci. Aren't they your most loyal? —

— And your Fracciones? Don't they admire you too? —

— When I'm with someone I trust and admire, yes. Like it is with you. —

— Well, I just keep practicing and improving. But in fact, I'm actually stronger than ever now that my Bankai has reached a new level. But I'm not the only one who's stronger. Other Soul Reapers are stronger too. —

— Well, that's already a big step. I personally don't even want to imagine having to face you again... And I say this because I recognize that you're stronger, just as I am now. — Harribel's smile, though rare, truly calmed the captain's nerves, and greatly so.

— Thank you for your kind words, Queen. In the end, I confess that your trust in me is very valuable... even though we were enemies in the past. — Perhaps, just perhaps... Cont.

— I wholeheartedly affirm that you do. You guide Hueco Mundo on a path of peace, alongside the Soul Society now that Yhwach has been defeated. — The words were spoken with an air of sincerity, reason, and confidence towards the queen of Hueco Mundo. Cont.

—I truly appreciate your way of thinking, even more so because you are a determined and courageous leader.— Hitsugaya admitted sincerely, always believing Harribel's words without questioning or doubting. —Every sacrifice was ultimately worthwhile, which was to save our sides.—

— You represent sacrifice, and that makes me think about something regarding all of this. Do you perhaps think that all these sacrifices on both sides served to make us stronger? I don't like to talk about this subject, to be honest. —

— Not only to Hueco Mundo, but also to the Soul Society. — Hitsugaya added, still harboring resentment from such a melancholic and bloody era as the battle against the Quincies. — I'm still surprised that it all ended, thanks to the support from all sides. —

— And if it weren't for both sides working together... things wouldn't have ended well. But thankfully everything worked out, and you're no longer a slave to the Quincies. If I could have saved you from all that... I would have done it without question. —

— It must have been really... — There was a hint of disgust in what Hitsugaya was about to say, genuinely angry at even finishing that sentence. — It must have been awful having Aizen as a leader. Even more so because he destroyed your confidence, Harribel. —
