"Yes, don't worry, I going to give the short hand explanation in a moment," the young woman said with her cat ears twitching. It seemed their most talkative judge found it amusing and interesting that her own records at the Academy had been beaten and thought that she should have taken Kumori Raizen as her own Vice-Captain. "Iie, I am not really interested in having someone potentially smarter than me as an Underling. They deserve the room they need to grow into whatever they wanna be," she said of Kumori Raizen and the amount of clever he was, she had similar feelings about someone else, but... that was a matter for another time. Finally, the judge who normally said yes or no to such things as the evidence already presented spoke. And he seemed to have a bit of a problem with something mentioned by Akiko. "I see you've spent a lot of time on this, but there seems to be a hole in this logic. Kumori Raizen was born within the Seireitei, and his mother, by all records and accounts was a Captain not even on active duty while pregnant. There have only been two known cases of Hollows in the Soul Society and both of those have happened in the last year. Given this, aren't you wrong to assume how he got his powers in the first place?" he said. He was among those who'd been recently swayed into believing in the necessity of Raizen's death. He'd postponed it for a while to give everyone a chance, but now he had more than what he needed, to know this young man likely wouldn't be stoppable if he was released.
Akiko's head leaned forward and she reached into her sleeve for a lollipop she removed one from her sleeve and began to eat it. "Oh? You really think I'd walk in here without having covered all the bases. Alright..." she said. "The real reason I needed access to the Daireishokairo was because I needed to know about the Kumori Clan before its fall. What I found out was, about an item being worked on by them called Bakkoto. Ever take one of those apart?" she asked as she moved the lollipop around in her mouth. "Because I did, and each one is made up of a single Hollow Soul. Kumori Raizen's mother aimed to take her own life with one of those before she found out she was pregnant by all accounts listed in the records. She survived it, the Reiatsu from the weapon, counted as a near-death experience with a Hollow. That's how you get a Shinigami born with Hollow influence," she said the judge who'd spoken looked stunned. With information like this, the boy's innocence in this matter was all but assured, as he couldn't have had anything to do with something that took place well before his own birth. "I... see." said the man. "Oh simple version for you..." she said pointing to the man who'd spoken first in this exchange with the lollipop so recently removed from her mouth. "Hollow knife, tried to end a woman's life. She was pregnant, got Reiatsu contaminated by that Hollow knife, had a baby who grew up to be a super clever boy who is a great Shinigami, who you all have had locked up like he's waiting for execution for something he didn't actually do.
