[Rukia sighs. It's hard not to give advice; it's just how she is. But she has absolutely no reference from which she can draw. She's never been in love, and what's more, knowing that they'll all go back to their own worlds is just further justification for why she shouldn't bother. It's just not what she wants.]

[But it's what Yuffie wants.]

Then I suppose you'll have to decide if he's worth it.

[She calmly folds her hands in her lap.]

If the joy of being together is worth the pain of inevitable separation, then why should you not pursue what you desire?

But if not, then there is nothing left to debate. That is the heart of the matter.

[She bows her head and closes her eyes.]

Nonetheless...to avoid a beginning, just because it will someday end, is foolish. It is simply the nature of life. What is born must die. We were not put here to dread the endings, but to enjoy the time we have with the people we care about while we have the chance, and be grateful that we had the chance at all.
