[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?

Troublesome... [By which she means, are you fucking kidding me it's not troublesome it's scary.]

He, um, well he was pretty creepy when he wasn't an Infiltrator, too... um, n-no offence!!

Should I take offense to that? We're still not exactly the same person, you know. It's not like we lived the same life, so maybe he is a pretty creepy guy.

[not that his points really helps the problem at hand, but it's still kind of agitating when there are a lot clear differences between them.]

[She's properly chastised - there is the thing where he isn't a samurai who fought in a revolution and all that other super unpleasant stuff. What does she even know? This is way weirder than the whole reincarnation thing she's familiar with.]

So does that mean you don't know anything about what'll stop him...?

I'd probably have a better idea if he was... himself. That guy's pretty unpredictable, though, so I'm not sure what he's thinking these days.

[which ultimately means he has no idea. but he's not keen on being useless in this situation, so...]

It may be different if I see him myself.

Are you... going to come with Hijikata-sama?

[She's not sure that this is the best idea ever. If this was some evil alt Sio, of course she's feel obligated to take her down - but she has a big gun, which Other Souji distinctly lacks.]

It's going to be pretty dangerous, though...

["hijikata-sama" ... well, that sort of irks him on a deep level. but he'll let it slide for now, because there are things way more important going on right now.]

A lot of things are dangerous in a place like this. I can't really just stand by while some guy goes around making trouble with my face. [and then he adds, almost as an afterthought:] I'm not with Hijikata-san right now, but I'm sure I'll see him anyway.

[Oh hell. This just smacks of one of those horrible tragic sacrifices that people get roped into under these circumstances. 'These circumstances' being the crazy kind of stuff that only happens in anime, but, well - look at her life. Look at her choices.

This can not happen on her watch.]

W-well, Hijikata-sama's coming anyway, so, you really should stick with him. Or with Garrett-san. Because... I don't know if I can keep you safe.

I can take care of myself without him, you know. All that guy is going to do is nag me anyway.

[there's a hint of that coldness that would normally come from his other self — souji's just sick of being told the same things over and over. everyone acting like he needs to stick by hijikata just because he doesn't have the same combat prowess makes him feel incompetent...

which is kind of bad news for everyone when he's outclassed. and he knows it.]
