"And this is why you're being trained by someone other than an angel. At some point, all teachers can only impart so much wisdom. In life, you must continue moving in order to learn and experience more. Don't let yourself be satisfied by what comes to you," Rukia says quietly, before stepping forward to gently reach out for Castiel's hand and bringing it up to hover a couple of inches away from her sternum. "That connection between body and soul is one that shinigami visualize as a chain. If you feel around this area, just at the top of my sternum, you'll sense a stronger source of spiritual energy. The breaking of that chain takes place at death — and sometimes is forced, when creating a shinigami. Were you to explore this same area, you'll notice that Dean's chain has been severed. And not only by Urahara-san. He died even before that, didn't he?"
