Without a body, there was no sight, no sound, no reiatsu, no consciousness at all, really. Even as she instinctively repaired the body that had come to her, there was no thought about what was being done. Consciousness would come last, when eyes had been regrown, when skin had stitched itself together. When it did come, the decaying corpse had been entirely rebuilt, the broken neck stitched together, and rope burns long since healed.
The sudden burst of awareness as the soul’s connection to the body was fully established overwhelmed her for a moment. It was like being suddenly woken up from a very long, very deep slumber. The first thought to fight through the stimuli had no straightforward or simple answer, ‘Did the Quincy and the Shinigami reach an accord?’ The second thought was similarly difficult to answer without outside help, ‘How long has it been?’
She took a moment to gather herself and look around at her surroundings; in the distance she sensed a huge number of mortals, as well as a few spiritual beings. Light from the moon filtered through the leaves of a thick forest around her, and she noticed that underneath the mud caking her body, she was mostly naked. The only clothes that had not rotted away were a light half-kimono made of a strange material, a set of shockingly revealing undergarments made from a similar material, and strange footwear made from a partially rotted material she didn’t recognize. It must have been quite a few years, given the new material…’decades? Maybe even centuries?’
Making a valiant effort to wipe some of the mud off of her and get some of the leaves and sticks out of her hair as she moved towards the city (at least, that's what she was assuming from the number of humans she sensed), it took her the better part of an hour to make her way through the woods. She came across an enormous black footpath lit by strange overhead torches; in the distance, she saw two bright glowing eyes coming down the footpath at an astounding speed and ducked back into the woods. As the beast passed, she even sensed a human inside! She sensed no reiatsu from the beast, but the human also didn’t even have any spiritual pressure, even though they were both moving with speeds she’d only seen Shinigami and Quincy achieve. ‘Centuries, at least centuries. What have I missed?’
It looked like another of the creatures was coming down the road, and Miné tried to avoid the beast’s line of sight and see if she could get a look at the human inside and assess the situation. Wait…this one had some spiritual pressure…
((TL:DR; Muddy, half-naked woman coming out of the woods, and you're driving along!))
