Mm, that's true. I don't think it'd help anyone if we wind up frozen solid quicker because we went without a plan. I can just hear Hijikata-san yelling over it already...

[okay, so maybe that's just a piss-poor attempt at trying to lighten the mood a little. souji can easily tell that the circumstances are troubling and distracting for saitou as it is. it's not as if sitting there and sharing a blanket in an already-cold room is doing them many favors, after all, and he still can't really breach the other heavy topic that looms over them.

this is the only way he knows how to cope, and boy, is he taking advantage of it right now. even if it's probably the worst idea ever.]
