[In theory, Sio was trying to just think this at Hijikata, but she's kind of bad at the focus thing when she's actually freaking out a bit. So. Hi everyone.]

H-Hijikata-sama... I'm in Greengard with Souji-san. Your Souji-san. A-and think we've got a problem...

Something's really really wrong with him. He's acting super weird, um, I mean, more weird than before, and scary, I mean, different-scary... we're here with Fang-san and we're in this spooky forest and I don't know why he wanted us to come here but I think there's zombie unicorns and that's kind of freaking me out.

I know he's an Infiltrator now b-but... do we... do anything?

[What the hell, when did he become a "sama" - okay, no, the rest of this is obviously more important.]

...define weird.

[Shut up and be glad it isn't "heichou".]

He just... he made us come here and says we can't leave and I don't know what he wants and he's being really quiet and, you know, just... not okay.

[Goddammit.

Souji may not remember who the hell he is right now, but that's no excuse for leaving him there in that state, as far as Hijikata's concerned.]

I'm coming down there, but unless someone can get me a portal closer I'm going to have to travel the old-fashioned way. Just...keep an eye on him and try not to provoke him until I get there, got it?

. . . Perhaps I can assist if you must make haste.

...I'd appreciate it.

[It's a testament to how strongly Hijikata feels about Souji that there's no profanity, none of his usual grumbly snappiness to that reply - just honest gratitude.]

You still in Liminal Space?

[ He hopes that Hijikata won't lose him like Glen lost Jack. ]

I am.

[Nobody's severed head is going to get carried around when this is over, okay. He is determined.]

I need to get shit sorted out here first - won't take long, but there are a few people I can't just walk out without talking to first. [Not that they can't overhear this anyway, but.]

I'll be there soon.

[ w o w !! ]

Very well, then.

[ he has a sister, he sort of gets you, Hijikata even if you do seem to be the boss. or, well, your girlfriend is boss, but you know.

and it's not like he was planning on doing anything useful with himself other than maybe take a nap, anyway... ]

[Hijikata is totally the-

yeah no chizuru has him by the balls.]

Hijikata.

[Hello, sorry, were you expecting this to be easy?]

Be careful. He was already unstable enough when I last saw him. He could be even worse now.

Believe me, I know what he's capable of.

[More than anyone, since he has the dubious honor of being the person who's been in Souji's life since he was a child who doesn't have blinders on about some of his behavior.]

It's not him that I'm worried about.

[Hijikata, your self-preservation skills are absolute shit. Garrett's going to try to get there before you so Souji doesn't end up regretting something he may do in the future.]

Don't start.

[Times when it might behoove Hijikata to be less secretive about the whole "good luck killing me unless you take my head off" bit: now, perhaps. Oh well.]

[Easy. He's not gonna do anything unless Souji flips his shit.]

I won't. You're going to find us there, though.

Of course I am.

[Times when Hijikata does miss being responsible for everything: now. Because orders aren't going to do shit here.]

Unless people are dying in front of you, just stay quiet and don't let him see you.

[Don't provoke him, that's that from someone else now. And again, a pulse of angry heat under Sio's ribs. They're talking like she's attached to a time bomb. She is not okay with it. People died and that was seriously enough.]

I won't let him hurt anyone.

[Sio are you sounding adult there.]

[Souji is a time bomb in some ways, and not all of them even have to do with the "secretly a bloodthirsty monster" sense. Sorry, Sio.]

Do that. But don't forget that anyone includes yourself.

Um! Right!

[The fact that he cares is actually touching. She's not sure why she should be surprised but she kind of is.]

But I'm the Investigator. I-it's my job to make sure he doesn't, doesn't do anything he regrets when he's back to himself!

That's not your only job.

[Hijikata are you really going to lecture anyone else on self-preservation. Are you really.]

If I die then I'll just go to Liminal Space, right? But if he kills me, he - I - I think he'd feel really bad about it.

[Can't argue with that logic surely.]

So don't put him in a position where he has to regret that, got it?

But wouldn't that make him stop?!

[She was sure it would. It'd stop her if she was in Souji's position. She's starting to wonder if she actually has no idea the amount of trouble she's in.]

[Who doesn't want to have the vampire conversation right now? This guy.]

Possibly. Possibly not.

...it's complicated.

[ohgod all y'all stop confusing her it's just making her angry]

I-if he turns into some kind of psycho monster then I need to know!

Souji's always been unstable.

But this doesn't sound like his usual kind of unstable.
