Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book
At the tea party in the Kuchiki manor, Isane is seen getting more sweets, and she realises that she can no longer access the trap door. Yachiru asks what is wrong, and she tells her that the door can't be opened. On the other side, it is seen that Byakuya ordered the trap door to be nailed shut. After it is done, he believes the hidden door to be completely sealed off, but as he walks away, Yachiru opens another door directly opposite the previous one, as he looks on in surprise once more.
