[ Thanks, Souji, always good to know who your real pals are, the ones that won't be rude to you in the middle of a jungle where you're stuck with inappropriate clothes!!

.. except Shinpachi doesn't really mind. You can't live at the same place as Souji for this long and not be used to this, let's be real. Unless you're Hijikata and still blow up at everything all the time. He doesn't even really seem bothered by anything other than his temporary heat + terrible clothing combination here. ]

Of course I mean the ones we know first! [ Since it's not like he's met that many strange versions of them yet, so.. he's still in for a treat.. ]

Aside from us, there was also Hijikata-san and Heisuke too.. Although both of 'em already disappeared before I left this place. [ As far as anyone here "leaves", anyway. ] You were there too.

[ Except, you know, he's already figured it must have been a Souji with different memories, considering this one doesn't seem to mention it. ]

Hell, even Kazama-- it's like they just dumped at least half of the people we knew from back home here.
