So I believe there's a meta element to this, while I think it's all happening in story and lore wise etc, this might be a way of getting the story back on track or getting to a point where Rukia wants it to be. But... the real take away is that I think Cerys is dead and has been dead for a long time.

There's something great and vague that wants her to disappear. As if she doesn't belong. (Gaia going wtf you're dead?)

The constant pressure pressing in on you from reality, demanding that you stop existing is even less consequential.

But her little sister does something to stop it. Very likely her magic which has at this point taken shape.

She shakes silently against you, but the strength of her grip only grows stronger and you feel something settle into place. This is how things should be.

There's the fact that things are not what they used to be, as if there was a chunk of time that Cerys missed or rather "she" wasn't even there to see it happen. Because she wasn't made.

Nudging her a little, she gathers herself much faster than you remember- but well, it wasn't really what you remembered, was it?

A very clear separation about remembering

Familiar blue eyes flick upwards from where they are glued to the floor, framed by a face a little older and... rougher than what matched your memories.

you just hold her tighter, dropping your chin atop her head and finding that you don't need to bend quite as far as you expected.

This place... everything she had told you made you want to pull her closer, the endless war and eternal enemy? She would never be safe here, even if you ground the universe to dust beneath your feet, there were powers far beyond even that. Your memories, the place you call home and the friends you had -that she made you- around you?

Click to shrink...

So the real Cerys died and this is just a magical construct made by her sister... and we have to decide if we should stay or go. Maybe this is between accepting that things can't go back to the way they were or trying to hold on to that idealized past now that there's a second chance.

I don't know, someone make an argument for one of the choices.

I wouldn't have assumed dead, but there's definitely Some Weird Shit going on.
