Tinni; I doubt Hinamori is alive.. if you check the chapter; you will see that after she asks Toshiro "why"; the next page shows Toshiro empty handed when clearly she should still be in his arms; and then he goes to attack Aizen. The only logical explanation for her disappearance is that she broke into ice (as can be seen with Toshiro's wings also).
