[Don't ask Souji about it. His only known interpretation of Hijikata's poetry is something along the lines of, "It's all full of of love, oooh, I'm getting embarrassed", which is... pretty dreadful, honestly. He's trash.

It might have been easier if Souji had also mentioned that Shinpachi isn't actually as muscled either. Otherwise he'd have to quite possibly be as broad as he's thick and sort of... square.

But oh, that is a very sobering thing to think about, and Souji sighs, nodding.] He says he refuses to give fortunes to people, because you can't change what is to come. All he can do is see what will happen. I don't think he wants anyone to have to pay that price apart from him. [And it's true that Souji might have pestered him about it when he was young and silly, and now he feels incredibly bad about it. What had Saitou seen, what had he known, even then? It's a terrible thought.]
