Souji's gaze grows colder, not at Saitou, but due to the same thoughts. Their lives were just as fragile as their enemies, but Souji had taken comfort in the belief that Saitou and him, and the rest of the Shinsengumi, would go down for what they believed in. So even if their deaths were meaningless, they would at least die with a sword in their hands, fighting for what they believed in.
It takes a while for Souji to register the question. Did he kill anyone? Instead of asking him how he died, Saitou wanted to know if he killed anyone?
Souji's mouth splits into a smile, and then he laughs. it's a rough, scratchy sound with no humor behind it, just the way Souji likes it. ]
It would have been great if I did. [ souji says, without meaning it. ] No. The only person who was killed was me.
[ his laughter trails away, only to double back in force ]
It's really too bad you weren't there, Hajime-kun. Even after we said we'd kill each other if we lost control of ourselves. It's just not the same getting killed by strangers.
