It'd be difficult to speak poorly of them. [it's not like souji can say "they're just like you'd expect them to be," after all. the differences between the two of them were already great enough to assume that the other captains could easily be just as different.

no matter how many similarities may be at the core, and even if their names and basic histories may be the same, souji still considers them to be two separate people, with separate lives. it would be no different for the rest of the shinsengumi, too. it's a lot to take in, even as someone who was already aware that this possibility could in fact happen. it's still a strange situation to have to deal with, and even though he appears to be taking it in stride, there's definitely something unsettling about it. so he lets out a small sigh, shifting his stance a little—he'll still stand at every given opportunity just because he's able to. as he moves, he allows his hand to rest atop the hilts of his swords that rest comfortably at his waist. there's an understanding nod... he gets it. really, he does.]

I don't think anyone would disagree that meeting someone who is you, but not, is a much stranger situation. Things like this aren't really meant to happen, after all. It's only places like this that allow it.
