"Your Chain of Fate," Kisuke says, lifting a long, pale finger to point at the length of silver chain dangling from the mooring at the center of Dean's chest. "Looked like it had been broken before, and reforged. That was interesting. I had an idea you'd been into something interesting before, but how interesting, that was the question. Where I come from, the dead don't come back. Not that way, anyway. There are ways to work around the limitations of 'dead' and 'alive,' but only God can truly unite a soul and a body. That might not be the case where you're from."

"Kuchiki-san certainly does good. Unlike me, she's a serious and responsible young lady. If you want to be anything like that, you have my blessing. I want to give you what you want. Well, we wouldn't be here otherwise, would we? I can give you what Kuchiki-san has, if that's what you want, but I want to give you a working definition. The power I can help you grab for yourself isn't a genuine reaper's blade. But it's a close enough facsimile. The concept is the same."
Squinting, Kisuke turned his head away to peer into the middle distance He snapped his eyes back to Dean's face a moment later.
"A reaper is one who controls death. When you grip that blade, you control death. But while your hands control death, they can't embrace life."
