Doing that veteran thing...

[inexecution]

Did anyone else notice the train seems to loop back on itself?

[That sudden psychic broadcast is brought to you with a great deal of excitement, because of course it is. For those new Travelers who didn't already get an introduction via Joscelin, welcome to the Psychic network! Confusion is to be expected. It's okay, Souji's got your back.]

And I saw some new faces while I was walking around, so, hello! This is probably confusing, but don't worry. You can ask pretty much anyone here for help, we're used to it by now. I'm Souji, by the way. [Well, one of them, anyway...] Don't worry. This is all perfectly normal. [...ish.]

Oh...

[Of course he does. They've all been here way longer than she has. She shouldn't be meddling in this sort of thing.]

R-right... I understand. I'm sorry if I caused any trouble, I truly am...

[inexecution]

No, it's really not your fault. I appreciate what you were trying to do, and you were right to try.

[He's quiet for a moment, grateful that they're not face to face, so he doesn't have to worry about what expression is on his face]

But if we ever talk and I seem the same as I did then... don't try to deal with it yourself. Find Hijikata, instead.

[It's not a warning he really wants to have to give, but the way he'd feel if something ever happened to her because of him overrode the shame he felt about it.]

...Okay!

[She's really honestly very happy that he gave her directions. Next time it happens, she'll know what to do. She won't be useless. It'll be okay.

She's so happy.]

I'll do that for sure, so...so you can count on me!

[inexecution]

[He's a little surprised that she agrees so readily without asking any more questions, but he's also grateful for it.]

Thank you. I appreciate it.
