Ishida's response was expected, even if he didn't show much of it on his face. But just his silence and the way he was staring off made it obvious enough that the news was hitting him hard. If they'd known each other better, Sora would have at least put a hand on the other's shoulder to reassure him. Not that there was really a silver lining in a situation like this, but...
"Time here is weird," he admitted. "The head doctor can take people from different points in time, if that makes sense. So you might run into people here who don't remember as much as you do, and stuff like that." It wasn't always easy for people to wrap their heads around, at least not until it actually happened to them.
"But yeah, I'm sure. I got to know Renji and Rukia pretty well, before they left." Left was a vague way of putting it, but he just couldn't talk about what had happened to Renji right then. The man had always watched out for him while still taking him seriously, and to suddenly have a constant in this place taken out just like that; well, it hadn't been easy, that was for sure.
As for the other names, Sora was almost certain he'd never heard them. Orihime sounded sort of familiar, but if so, it was just one he'd heard in passing. "I don't think I know those two," he said after a pause. "But you could always try the bulletin. It's not like I've met everyone in this place."
