Is everyone getting settled in?
That was certainly a strange time for a New Feather wave! I hope you're all doing well, and that you know the Welcome Center is here to help you. Several people have mentioned it already, but if residents would keep an eye open for the stragglers? There are probably going to be a few of those...
[He pauses and then switches subjects]
Hijikata-san~ I have something I need to tell you.
And for the rest of my new roommates~ Perhaps we should move? We are getting a little cramped, after all. I've located a suitable house that has enough rooms for everyone. What do you think?

Action
I'll pass.
Action
Everyone seems to be doing well so far, hm? How about you?
Action
Action
You didn't answer my last question.
Action
[ Hijikata, long-standing master of not getting ruffled
or something like that]Action
That's good. I felt a little weird myself, but I suppose it's nothing.
The house next door is available and has enough rooms for us all. Do you think we should move there or keep looking?
Action
You've been stationed here longer. Are there preferences to take into mind?
Action
How far we have to move the panda?
Action
Heavier than it looks? [ Hell, it's impressive even if it's only as heavy as it looks. ]
Action
He's just very big. And I don't want to get him dirty. He's harder to give baths to than the piglets. [It's a giant panda. 8D China gave it to him. He loves it so. ; ; ]
Action
Action
[He sort of wants to flop over onto the floor, but he'll remain polite and sitting. After a moment, he remembers something he talked to Ayumu about.]
...Will you carry it for me?
Action
No.
Action
But if I carry it, he might drag on the ground.
Action
Action
Oh, but he doesn't like my panda very much after I left it in his doorway once.
Action
That's a pity.
Action
It is! So we'll take the house next door as it's closest.
[And now back to the actual thing he came to talk about.]
So...what do you think? About her, I mean.
Action
...
[ There is a very long pause here, for the record. ] I can think any number of things.
Action
And he won't interrupt while Hijikata is thinking. He sits quietly, unobtrusive as possible.]
We have a second chance here, don't you think? For her. And for us.
Action
But that was the past, still, at the end of the day. He more or less attempts to bore a hole into the floor just by staring at it, now. ]
A second chance at what. [ It isn't snapped so much as broken off- redemption? Life? Past mistakes?
He still hated having regrets. ]
Action
At living without regrets.
[He shifts slightly, twirling the candy in his fingers.]
We can't erase the ones we have, but we can live so we don't build anymore, can't we?
Action; 1/2
He never wanted... ]
Action
... We'll need to watch her. [ Another for his list of things to continue tracking.
Just in case. Make of it what you will. ]
Action
[He slips back a bit and bows formally. He won't let anything happen to Ayumu this time. To save both her and everyone else from ever experiencing that pain again.]
