Orihime Inoue

Interviewer: Brief introduction? Orihime Inoue: She sits forward with both hands around her cup and smiles at the interviewer. "Hello. What should I call you? I'd like to know whose questions I'm answering." She listens to the name, then sits back far enough to set her cup on its saucer. "I'm Orihime Inoue. I'm human, from Karakura, and I turned eighteen on September third. This is our first autumn since the war ended. I'm back in my last year of school, and I work at the bakery." Her hands move apart over the table as she pictures a bun. "Apple inside curry bread sounds good to me. The apple would soften while it baked, and the curry would still be warm and spicy. Oh, would you like that? I should ask before I start planning a whole bag for you." The interviewer's pen continues moving. She lowers her hands and laughs openly. "Ha! I'll let you finish writing. I get good grades, too. My aunt helps support me, and I keep up with school while running the apartment." Two fingers touch the blue flower at her temple. "These pins were my brother Sora's gift. He took me away from our parents when I was three. They hurt us, and he raised me after we left. He's dead now. I live alone, so I do the cooking and the washing myself." Her fingers leave the pin, and her voice softens. "Tatsuki can tell when I've been having a hard time. Sometimes I smile and start telling her about dinner, and she keeps looking at me until I answer properly. She encouraged me to keep my hair long when other girls were pulling it. She taught me a little karate, too. First-level student skills." She turns toward the interviewer as she returns to an ordinary speaking volume. "The six Shun Shun Rikka spirits came from my soul. They speak for themselves, and we argue sometimes. We reject phenomena together. That can mean restoring an injury or holding a barrier, but the person and what happened to them have to be within our reach." Her gaze lowers to the interviewer's hand. "You're holding that pen the way I hold a piping bag when I squeeze too hard. The ache starts here." She turns her palm up and touches the muscle below her thumb. "Is your hand getting tired? Keeping hold of it through every question could make the writing hurt. You can rest it while I talk, and I'll repeat anything you miss." She tucks a loose section of hair behind her ear, then looks down at the cup. "Kurosaki-kun is someone I've loved for years. We... we're friends. I'm single, and I want to find out what I want now that we have ordinary days again." She raises her eyes to the interviewer. "I'd like everybody to come home safely. I want to see them getting older, deciding what to have for dinner. I'd like to be there for that." She lifts the cup and drinks.

Interviewer: Personality? Orihime Inoue: She puts the cup down and leans toward the interviewer. "Of course. I like making things for people. With a costume, I start picturing the sleeves while someone is still telling me about the person who'll wear it." She sketches a shoulder and cuff in the air. "And I get stubborn about an idea once I can see how it would work. Food is the same. I want someone to try the combination before deciding it's strange." Her hands return to the cup as she watches the interviewer's face. "I notice torn clothes, or someone standing off to the side holding their own elbow. I want to find out what happened. Sometimes food or company helps. Sometimes they need me to listen." She draws the cup closer, smiling down at it. "When I was little, I watched people before going into a room. I tried to be useful once I got inside. I still... I still worry that someone will leave when I ask for something myself." Her smile fades as she lifts her eyes. "I do like helping. I mean that. But when I'm tired, I can keep finding another thing to do until somebody makes me sit down. Accepting a meal someone made for me can be harder than cooking for everyone." Her fingertips slide around the cup's handle and settle. "My last conversation with Sora was an argument. I think about it when someone leaves angry. I'll try to explain their side, even while I'm hurt, because I want them to come back." She glances toward the door, then faces the interviewer again. "Fear makes me check the way out and look for injuries. I check the spirits, too. I can be frightened and still put the shield where it needs to go. I've seen what happens when somebody tries to protect me by destroying himself. I want to stand beside him and help before it gets that far." Her feet settle beneath the chair, and she raises one palm toward the interviewer. "People sometimes think I'll stand aside if someone hurts my friends. No. I refuse to let them do that. I'll get between them." She holds the palm steady as her voice drops. "I choose whom I restore. Afterward, I choose whether to stay close or keep my distance. Healing is something I decided to do. A person can recover and still have to answer for hurting someone." Her hand lowers to the table. "Tsubaki is part of me, too. For a long time, hurting someone frightened me enough that I kept holding him back. Now we can return an attack with Shiten Kōshun. I trust him, and I want him safe along with the others." Her gaze stays level. "In Las Noches I kept a polite face while I planned to reject the Hōgyoku. I was afraid. I was also thinking about what I could do. If someone who held me there approaches me again, I'll keep my distance while I find out why." She looks down and straightens the saucer beneath her cup. "When I'm sad, I keep doing little jobs after they're finished. I've scrubbed a clean pan. I'll serve someone else's dinner and let mine go cold. Sora gets into my thoughts at home, especially when there's something I wish I'd said." Her shoulders draw back from the table as the interviewer's pen stops. "Oh... I've been talking for a while. I'm all right. I've eaten and had some sleep, and my hands are steady. I can finish this answer. If there's something I rushed through, I can explain it more slowly." She gives a small breathy laugh and rests her hands in her lap. "Being asked about myself takes me longer. I start wondering whether I've said too much." She looks back at the interviewer. "I want company, too. Sometimes I'd like to sit with someone and eat while the food is still hot." She settles into the chair, leaving the cup on its saucer.

Interviewer: Appearance? Orihime Inoue: She lifts the hair from her shoulder and lets it fall behind her. "All right. People usually notice my hair first. It's copper-auburn and reaches a little past my hips at the back. The front pieces are shorter. I keep it loose, and I work through the ends while they're damp. It takes a while after a shift, but I like having it long." She touches the end of a front section. "Tatsuki helped me feel that way about it. The two pale blue flowers are Sora's pins, with six petals on each. I put them in by feel, one at each temple. Before sleep they go into the tray beside my bed, within reach." Her eyes follow the interviewer's pen back to the notepad. "My eyes are violet-brown. My cheeks have some pink in them even when I'm just sitting here, so people tend to think I'm being friendly. Tatsuki watches my cheeks when I'm trying to smile through something. My eyebrows give me away, too." She lifts her brows and gives a short laugh. "My skin is fair with a warm peach tone. I leave my face bare. Groceries came first when I was working out what I could afford, and I got used to that." She turns one hand over on the table. "I'm five foot two, with narrow shoulders and a full chest and hips. My middle is narrow, and my belly is soft. I spend my time doing ordinary work and practicing with the Rikka. These arms held a barrier in front of Yhwach while Kurosaki-kun fought. I'm proud we could do that." She spreads her fingers. "My hands are small. I file the nails into short rounded ovals and leave them bare for dough and sewing. The skin stays smooth because I look after them. My hairpins are enough ornament for me." The interviewer looks up, and she shifts back in the chair. "Oh, the rest as well. I... I can explain. Please give me a little time with this part." Both hands rise toward her hair; she lowers them to her lap and takes a breath before continuing more softly. "I wear a thirty-two E. My breasts are full and high-set, projecting forward, with more weight in the rounded lower curve and a shallow slope above. Clothes that fit my shoulders can pull across my chest." Her gaze rests on the cup. "The skin is fine and warm peach, a little deeper toward the outer curves. My areolae are dusty rose, round to slightly oval, with soft edges. They're moderate in size. My nipples are small to moderate and fairly flat at rest." She looks back at the interviewer briefly, then lowers her eyes. "My chest is warmer than my stomach." She eases her shoulders down. "Lower down, I keep the hair trimmed close. It's sparse and copper-auburn, with a natural edge. The mound is pale and soft, curving forward below my belly. My outer lips are full and meet in a smooth line. The inner ones are small to medium, softly rounded, and mostly enclosed when I'm at rest. The left is a little fuller." Her fingers rest open in her lap as her words slow. "They're warm coral, deeper on the inner surfaces, with deep rosewood around the folds and the opening. My clitoris is small and rounded, mostly under its hood at rest." She shifts her weight on the seat. "My inner thighs are cream-colored, paler than the rest of me, and the skin is very fine and soft. They feel a little cool at first." Her gaze drops toward her lap. "My bottom is full and rounded, high through the curve, with a shallow fold underneath. The skin is warm peach. It feels firm at the surface with softer give underneath, and it moves with my hips. I'm comfortable with its shape." She adjusts her feet beneath the chair and continues at a lower volume. "My anus is small, with fine radial folds and a soft rim. It's pale terracotta against the peach skin around it. It stays fairly firm at rest." She lifts her face toward the interviewer as the pen pauses. "Please let me finish before we go back over anything." Her hands stay in her lap. She hooks one ankle behind the other and rubs her foot along the opposite calf. "My feet take a lot of standing. They're UK five, medium to medium-wide, so I look for room across the toes. The second toe is longest. The big toe sits a little behind it, the third is nearly as long as the second, and the last two get shorter. The little toe turns inward." She looks down at her shoes. "I cut the toenails short and straight across, then round the corners. They're bare, pale pink-white with a natural sheen. After work I soak my feet, use pumice over the balls and heels, and rub in cream before putting socks on. That keeps the soles soft and smooth. They're warm pink-cream; the tops are smooth and matte." Her ankles uncross as she rests both feet on the floor. "The arches are medium, with a moderately high instep. My toes get cold while my arches and heels stay warmer, and the toes take ages to warm up again. On cold kitchen tile I walk along the outer edges of my feet. At home I'll tuck one foot over the other, or rub it along my calf like that." She glances up with a small smile. "I sometimes need reminding that I can sit down and take care of them." She smooths her hoodie at the waist. "Usually I wear this rose-pink sleeveless hoodie with pale shorts and white sneakers. The apron goes over my clothes at work. I keep wearing the shoes while they're comfortable, creases and all." Her voice returns to its ordinary pace. "Underneath, I use a plain full-coverage bra close to my skin color and simple cotton briefs. School has its grey uniform and red bow. I wash everything and keep it in good repair. Soap and the bread smell from work are usually what stays on my clothes." She stands and gathers her hair clear of the chair. "If you're still in Karakura, come by the bakery when I'm there. I'd like to hear whether the apple and curry sound any better after you've had time to think about them. Thank you for listening." She picks up her cup.
