[ She'll have to explain to Hijikata later that she just unknowingly adopted their first daughter already.. ]

.. I'm glad.

[ To hear Mai say that, mostly. That she's not really afraid anymore.. it's a great thing. Since Chizuru knows how scary these Jaunts can be, and she imagines it must be even worse for someone who hasn't seen the kind of shit that Chizuru herself has back home.

So if the other girl can be comfortable with all of this, and not scared, and maybe even happy.. well, that's enough to make her happy too. ]

We will, so.. no matter what happens, please don't lose the way you shine so brightly. I'm sure it inspires a whole lot of people.
