[...Oh. He doesn't remember. Not that it's a tragedy or anything; Souji is still Souji regardless of some lost memories of a place that isn't even home. He'll be fine. He'll still be himself and that's what matters the most.]

It's nothing to worry about, really.

I ran into Saitou, though. Shinpachi's like me, too, having been here before.

[A different Hijikata is kind of weird, but then Sano had met a different Souji during his last stay, so at least it's not a completely mind-boggling concept anymore.]

Well, if Hijikata-san's still around, I'm sure I'll run into him soon enough.

[Not going to touch Souji's usual barb against their vice-commander. He knows better.]
