[ Continued from here. ]

He does? [ There is something about those words that makes him perk up, eyes bright. If Sano remembers, then... ] He better still have Hijicroca, then! And if he doesn't, then he'd better get me a new one.

[ But the question that follows makes him blink. Is he Shinsengumi? That's kind of a hard question to answer, and his expression falls, head lowering, eyes averted. ]

I used to be... but then I left, and it's not like you can just go back to something like that because everybody looks at you like you're some kinda traitor, y'know? I mean, it's not like it'd matter anymore anyway...

[ The last thing he remembers, he was bleeding out in Shinpachi's arms. ]

[ ... he can't help but react to that name though? ]

Hiji...croca...

[ uh. MOVING ON -- especially since it seems like the air got a lil' heavy so suddenly. although, now, Hijikata can kind of make a good guess.

so, flatly: ]

Are you Heisuke, then?

[ not sure what to say about the whole traitor thing. this isn't even his Heisuke, honestly. although, if Hijikata had the chance to save his own Heisuke, he would.

hm... difficult stuff though. ]

[ At the question, his head snaps up, eyes wide. This guy knew his name? So then they didn't forget him after all! Though, he can't really say he thought they would... but at the same time, who knows what sort of things those two told people about him. ]

Yeah.

[ He has to ask... ]

Why? What'd they say about me? I mean, whatever it is, I swear I didn't do it.

[ it's getting easier and easier to guess these names. though, it's kind of funny how striking some similarities are despite being from other worlds? ]

Oh, I never talked to Harada or Nagakura about you if that's what you think.

[ sorry to burst that bubble. ]

I just guessed. You're like the Heisuke I know. [ sort of, at least. ]
