[Toshi's mental voice sounds a little anxious - he's trying to hide it, but he has no idea when he is, just that finally there are other people around and some of them look familiar]

Hey, what did I miss? Is Souji still here?

[there's a pause, and then he sounds a little calmer, and a little embarrassed]

I got stuck in some weird patch of liminal space where time was all fucked up - watch didn't work right or anything.

True. [but you're not actually denying the charge, Hijikata] Still wasn't me first, though.

[hakodate]

[nicotinized]

Maybe. Going to do anything about it, though?

Be setting a pretty shitty example if I couldn't follow the one rule we actually enforce here.

What, 'try not to kill each other any more than necessary'?

[hakodate]

I'm not an unreasonable enough man to call this necessary.

Just really goddamned tempting.

[nicotinized]

Well, that's why it'd be breaking the rule.
