[well, it's unlikely that he'll be taking any selfies anytime soon, that's for sure. maybe if someone teaches him how to use the camera, he can at least get a snapshot of hijikata in some sort of embarrassing circumstance...

but he's not that interested in documenting himself, when photographs are still sort of just a mysterious and expensive western thing to him, for the most part. even if he's gotten used to the concept a bit more, he's still deterred by most technology beyond the very basics. electricity for lights and heating, indoor plumbing, fridges? those are pretty cool. a touchscreen phone with all kinds of features that his callused fingers can't keep up with? a little less cool to him.]

It's not broken. [...he just doesn't know how to do a lot of things on it.] Annoying as it is, it'd be more troublesome if that were the case, hm? I'd have to have it repaired. Even I know when I'm in over my head when it comes to that sort of thing.

[he wouldn't even try to pretend he could fix it if it was broken.]
