[It's a good effort, but Sano can hear the slight lack of emotion in Souji's voice. Not that he can blame him, and so he doesn't call Souji out on it, either. He's clearly been through enough as it is.
Sano's not Hijikata, either.]
This place is bullshit. It likes to take that one thing from us and just completely screw around with it.
[It's not that Sano wants his friends to die. Of course he doesn't. But he knows that dying in battle is how they'd want to go out, or at least one of the ways they'd want to. It sucks, but he respects it, so to see them, time and time again, denied that wish, makes him more and more upset. It's like they're just playthings for whatever greater power is in control.
They're just human - even his comrades who have become rasetsu; Sano still sees that human side of them - so of course they're not going to last through everything, but it's so unfair and disrespectful to get tossed around like this.
If he weren't with Souji right now, trying to stay chill, he'd want to punch some trees or some walls.]
