Oh man, I'm far too late replying to this, but I needed to find the words. EEE THANK YOU. I didn't expect anyone to pick this fic, but I'm glad you did, because the spin you took on it is fascinating and somehow kinda logical. I find myself thinking hey, it SHOULD have been Urahara, why didn't you think of that?!
Urahara is by turns sympathetic and manipulative in a way that's almost nasty--he's not a bad guy, he doesn't have that vibe of evil like Aizen or Mayuri, but he is so utterly RUTHLESS and considering the stakes, it's hard to say he's wrong, which just makes it worse. And better. And the ending lines--BRRRR. They are freaking HAUNTING.
I love how he fakes her out, the bastard. Yoruichi's cameo is great too. Nice positioning on the couch. ;) And Rukia is tough and brave and everything she should be. This bit--
It was painful, and such an utter waste of candy.
--especially made me laugh. He would so think that way.
