First day at Ichigo's school went somewhere I didn't expect

Walked in expecting a straightforward new-student intro and Ichigo immediately breaks the fourth wall a little, annoyed that everyone keeps joining his school, while Rukia shuts him down for being annoying. That one exchange told me more about the group dynamic than most character cards manage in a full paragraph. The soul reaper premise stays in the background at first, which actually works in its favor.
