[Heisuke's reading something and he can be heard mumbling in the background.]

...all a matter of listening properly...meditation....takes a lot of time....

...Time. A lot of time.

[He lets out a loud and somewhat frustrated sigh then turns to the journal.Okay, look, there's gotta be an easier way to contact these ghosty spirity things than goin ( Read more... )

[Sannan is feeling thoroughly exhausted -- who wouldn't after that sort of conversation? But he still stops by Heisuke's room as he passes by, curiosity piqued by the mention of "ghosty spirity things", and pads in, readjusting his glasses.]

Oh--Toudou-kun, what are you trying to do?

[...great. Sannan pinches the bridge of his nose.]

I didn't say that you couldn't worry about me, just not so much. And this isn't about Hijikata-kun anyway.

If I have to fight, I'll...do it.

[Fight? Sannan? Yamanami shouldn't fight! What if he got hurt? What if never came back? In his fear of losing people again, Heisuke forgets that people don't die here and he shakes his head, ready to throw the book against the ground.]

Isn't about-- How--

No! You don't have to fight! You don't have to do anything but...

[And his anger just...deflates. He lowers the book and it dangles loosely from his fingers.]

...Just live here. Just stay with us. That's all that matters. If they try to make you fight, I'll go for you.

No...! You can't--I wouldn't let you--what if you...[And then Sannan's throat closes up. What is he supposed to say? What can he say?

What he wants to say is that he's not that weak.]

[It doesn't matter if he does. His death has happened, it won't affect anyone except Shinpachi and Sano and they...have each other. It'd be okay still. But Yamanami? His death shattered the Shinsengumi. He can't let it happen again. He can't let him be murdered again.

He grabs the book again and throws it down.]

I already did!

[He stops and just stares at the book where it's lying, closed.]

...it doesn't matter. I already did.

[He was going to say, "What if you got hurt?", because that happened already at Ikedaya, and he didn't take well to that news at all, but it's obvious that Heisuke has assumed something else, something far worse, something that Sannan never wanted to think about.

He really is a dead man walking, isn't he?

Both of them.]

...Wh--what?

[Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit. That look. That look! Of course he wouldn't know! He couldn't... Why did he say that? Why does he always say such stupid things?!]

...Nothing. Just forget I said anything.

[He leans down to grab his journal and starts for the door.]

Toudou-kun.

[Even though he doesn't move, there's enough bite in his voice to show that he isn't willing to let things end this way.]

I can't forget something like that.

[He stops with his back to Yamanami at the door and stares at the book in his hands.]

.......

What. You going to order me like Shinpatsuan did?

[He turns so that he's facing Heisuke's back.]

Do I need to?

[For once, Heisuke stops to think. He wants to blurt out that he isn't anyone subordinate anymore. He isn't even part of the Shinsengumi anymore. He was just a traitorous samurai who got what he deserved in the end.

...but even he isn't that cruel.]

Maybe. Isn't like it's something I want to talk about.

[Sannan sighs. He doesn't want to order Heisuke to tell him, but on the other hand, now that he knows, he has to hear the full story or else it will haunt him forever.]

I'm aware of that, but if you're going to say those kinds of things, then you shouldn't leave the details up to my imagination.

[He pauses before adding:]

Who else knows? Besides Nagakura-kun.

Shinpachi and Sano. Shinpachi doesn't really know. Sano was there.

[He shifts from one foot to the other.]

Details don't really matter, do they? Not goin' back there anymore so that's that.

Oh.

[He focuses on the wall.]

No, I guess they don't, even though...never mind. [Heisuke wants him to stay here, so he'll try to do that.]

Yeah.

[He clenches his fists.]

So you remember that too, okay? The details don't matter. We'll figure things out.

[He sounds like them. He knows how this story is going to end. For both of them. He turns a bit and tries to smile for Sannan.]

Anyway, I'm gonna go see if I can give Hajime a run for his creepy ghost talker money.

[Sannan smiles faintly. It's a weak reassurance, but it's still a reassurance. They'll figure things out for the better, hopefully; there's no way they could make things worse.]

Alright. I'll see you for dinner, then.
