[That was... enlightening. Looks like he'll be signing up.

In the meantime, he's going to enjoy the free food.]

[alastinglight]

[Frowns.]

You're suddenly all concerned.

[novelvision]

[He frowns back.]

Of course I'm concerned! You look terrible, you've only been here for a few days and you don't sound alright at all. [And he heard that conversation with Okita.]

[alastinglight]

I didn't think you cared.

[Soft and angry, he tells himself, not soft and hurt.]

[novelvision]

What? That's ridiculous! Even if you're from the past, you're still my friend!

[alastinglight]

Tch.

[A friend who won't tell him everything. Yeah. He can see how THAT goes.]

I'm fine, Katsura.

[novelvision]

...[Despite his misgivings, Katsura finds that he's feeling angry now. Angry at himself for not having handled their first encounter better, angry that Takasugi has always been this stubborn and angry that there's really nothing more he can say now that will make the other trust him more.]

Hmph. Have it your way then, Takasugi.

[alastinglight]

In as much as I can, anyway, since I know nothing.

[Being angry is so much easier than being vulnerable and confused and maybe a little scared.]

But you know what? Go to your meeting. I'll live, and you've got stuff to do anyway.

[novelvision]

We don't know everything either, but you're right, I don't have the time to argue with you right now. [And he leaves to cool off before the meeting.]
