[Souji loves the haiku. He's very well aware that it is incredibly bad, but that's okay, because he loves it anyway. It's so sweet, and somehow even more endearing in how terrible it is.

It'll be a strange experience, really, to find that they have both sort of lived their lives as Hijikata's shadow, albeit in very different ways. Right now, Souji simply has a deeply founded respect for the other man already.]

Uhmmmm... he's about this tall. [Souji opts for showing with his hands, and... yes, that is most definitely like a head taller. Sorry, Saitou.] And our Shinpachi is about this short. It's pretty weird. [He tilts his head slightly.] But the other thing is a bit stranger. We're all used to Hajime-san being able to see the kind of things that other people can't - even the future, though I don't think that is always a very nice gift to have. So perhaps it's just as well for you.
