056 [Voice]
To any who knew them, Homura the demi-god, Yamazaki Ayumu and Hijikata Toshizou have all returned home. I'm afraid they didn't leave much when they left and so I cannot give out letters as others do.
[He's quiet for a moment, trying to steady his voice regardless of how much this hurts. Everything is wrong and he can't do a thing to fix it. They're all gone, most of them off to die, leaving him behind, possibly never returning and he knows that he will end his days here without ever seeing them again. Ayumu has returned to oblivion, Homura as well. And Hijikata has gone back without the knowledge of the future so vital to his survival. He can't do a thing to change history or the future and here he is, living out his days in sloth and loneliness.
Despite all that, he almost doesn't want to see them again. He isn't sure if his heart could take it, if his soul wouldn't warp and begin to hate them for leaving him behind. Hijikata had promised to never leave him behind as long as he was useful.
Perhaps it means he isn't useful anymore. He wouldn't be surprised. His swordsmanship is suffering now that he can't breathe as well as he used to and without his swordsmanship, what is he?
.......
As if realizing that his silence is stretching uncomfortably long, he clears his throat and forces himself to be cheerful again.]
If anyone needs help repairing their homes or fixing anything, please let me know. I have little else to do around the house here and I think if we stay indoors any longer, Tammy might start eating the furniture.

[voice] I am sorry.
The feed may pick up sounds of him dropping his journal and running out of his room, shouting "oi, oi! Souji!" in hopes of informing him that apparently Hijikata was here and gone, but oops Souji's not home?! So he returns and just. Asks Okita straight up.]
W-wait.. Hijikata-san's gone?! When was he ever even here though?!
[voice] no this is delicious
He has been here three times now, this most recent being with the last cycle and ending with this one. Do you know him?
[voice] good good. (also sorry about the lateness hfdskk hiatus and whatnot)
W-whaaaa..?! Really? I never saw 'im though! But... yeah, yeah of course I know 'im! He's from the same world as I am!
[voice]NO WORRIES i am full of late, too
Oh....do you know a different Hijikata-san?
[voice] O-OKAY... we're pros..
A different Hijikata-san? Hijikata-san's Hijikata-san though. [ONE OF A KIND. Gosh.]
[voice] the most pro-y pros YEAH
Oh, I'm sure he is, but I've come to learn that not everyone is unique across the worlds. Sometimes you can meet yourself. It's very interesting.
Do you know Okita-san?
[voice] aw yeaaaah
Okita-san... Oh, you mean Souji? Yeah, I know 'im! He comes from the same place I do.
[voice] aaaaaawwwwwwwwww yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah

And how can I introduce myself to you when you're going and saying you're Souji? [GOSH.]
[ voice ] HI LATE AND NO REGRETS
Mm. So they're gone.
[ voice ] OHAI i see you there
[Implied is the statement: "Where I ought to be. Where we all should be." with all the cheerful cover to his bitterness that he can manage.]
[ voice ] do you???
[ He's caught on, and he finds this whole situation... odd. Why just leave behind one person, if they're going to take away the rest? ]
[ voice ] no, now you know my terrible secret /sobbing
[ voice ] i know everything heheh
And Saizou?
[ voice ] BUT DO YOU KNOW....about the Mysterious Creatures of Shiverburn Galaxy???
[in fact, Saizou makes a voice appearance - snuffling at the microphone before grunting and settling into his master's lap.]
He says hello.
[ voice ]
Besides them, you're on your own, huh. ...Heisuke-kun and I might drop by every once in a while.
[ as in a lot
or maybe they'll just move in ]
[ voice ]
...
And I think Ayumu-san would be angry if I gave one of the rooms to Tammy.
[ voice ]
okita souji party 24/7. He thinks about it for a moment... ]
How many rooms does your house have?
[ voice ]
[He pauses and then smiles.] Even Toshizo could have a room.
[ voice ]
You don't mind? [ If we move in, that is. ]
