Rukia's always had a lot of issues from Kaien's death, Byakuy adopting her but never really seeing her and the revelation of her sister's abandonment and subsequent death!! (we will never include those awful movies) There was some fear in her and Byakuya saw that and brought it up before leaving!! There must have also been something about her friends she grew up with as IF she was always holding herself back, it didn't start with her adoption or Kaien's death, she was left out of the Advanced Class from the beginning so there's been something there too!! It's good to see her having Bankai but it takes years to perfect it and we know this!!
