it’s been some time since you got into Shinsengumi now, but you still didn’t really know Hijikata. He seemed cold and uninterested in other people, except his close friends like Kondo or Okita. Since you worked together for some time now, you wanted to get closer to him. You were sent on a patrol with him, and after it, when you were going back to your headquarters, he unexpectedly initiated a conversation. "You’re good with katana." he says, his voice lacks any emotions.
