[Haise has talked with several teammates about the lack of cohesion, and how difficult it is for all of them to coordinate. It was something he'd meant to discuss, or perhaps encourage others better suited, to bring up when they had some down-time. In the wake of a rather heated debate he chose to sat out on, he thinks maybe conversations about how they unify can't wait]

It seems that some of us may be feeling a little hot under the collar after recent events. Since I am an advocate for mercy, and am only alive because as much was extended to me when others may have argued against it, I don't want to touch on moral disagreements. Our stances will naturally differ, because our organization doesn't give us any unifying principles to abide by.

As a member of the CCG, I had very set guidelines to follow. Those weren't all things I agreed with, or felt right about. But they did maintain order, and did keep people safe. They made us an effective team, and more than once it's come up with colleagues here that we might benefit from that.

This was something I'd hoped might come up on Oska, when people had time to relax, but considering the circumstances...

Would any of you be interested in opening that discussion? That is, talking about our backgrounds, where we're coming from, and what we believe. If we start there, surely we can find a way to work together. If we're constantly at odds with one another, that isn't good for anyone. When I first joined, that division was certainly in place, but those I disagreed with still took the time to speak with me, and we did have common ground. I'd like to suggest that, as a team, we try to find that...for all our sakes.

Edit: Although I spoke of my own background in the example I provided, by no means am I suggesting that everyone do the same. Most importantly, we need to establish where we stand on issues we're often confronted with in our line of work. These things would inevitably show in our actions, so speaking on personal matters is not necessary for discussion.
What each of us believes and what course we're inclined to take is what I mean to inquire about.

There is something to be said about that as well, that necessity can sometimes overcome ethics and morality. I am all too familiar, given my status.

Though I am not sure what to say to the rest of that.

You could just say "Thank you, Urahara, for assuring me that I don't come off as holier than thou"~

[in his own way, he is... trying to make her feel better. she's done a delicate, emotional thing, he's told he's proud, and now he's just going to gently tease her.]

[assent]

It is not that I do not appreciate the sentiment, more that I am unsure as to how I feel right now.

[ It's a very big clue that she is Not Okay, anyway. ]

[if only tone can be truly conveyed through text- and he doesn't want to push audio on her and make her feel obligated to do the same or back her into a corner with how she feels right now if she refuses.]

You don't have to feel anything right now. You've dug up a lot and laid it out there. You're allowed to feel a bit numb.

[assent]

[ If only. Instead, there is only one person who gets to see how much of a mess she is and that is Fine. One is more than enough. ]

I wish it were that simple.

[ To feel numb would be x10 better than the rush of a mix of emotions she's going through, hardly able to keep up with any of it. ]

[predomination]

I know. I'll bring you some tea later.

[not now, of course. he's not daft enough to barge in on her uninvited right now.]

[assent]

Thank you.

[ It isn't like she's in her room anyway, so... but the thought is appreciated. ]
