[Souji is at home and it's too quiet. He ends up talking to Saizou, his pig, for company a lot lately and this time, Saizou steps on the journal as he's talking, picking up bits and pieces of their one-sided conversation.]
--nder...why...--that some ......--ile others go, Saizou?
[The pig grunts and Souji laughs softly, sounding tired and worn.]
Mm...yes, I suppose we'll never know.....--haps....world returns.....--work still left to complete; and leaves ...... --no longer necessary.
[He's quiet for a moment and then lets out a heavy sigh, dismissing his own thoughts.]
No, that's silly. ....--ing me the jour--....
[The microphone picks up the muffled bumps and thumps as Saizou bites the journal and brings it over for Souji. He presses the on button again, unaware that it was already recording. When he addresses everyone, he's much chipper like he always, no trace of his earlier stress.]
I learned a new game so I have a question for everyone~
Would you rather eat nothing but your favorite food forever or never eat your favorite food again?
Also, it has been quite awhile, but anyone who knew my other self, Hijikata-san or Chizuru-chan; they've all returned to their homes.

[She sounds a little sad, but not overly upset.]
That would make you...Okita Souji-san, yes?
[Voice]
Yes, I'm afraid they all have. But they have returned to where they are needed.
I'm the other one, yes. There were two of us for a short time.
[Voice]
That's good to know.
Oh, good then I guessed correctly. Shinsengumi-san mentioned that there were two of you. My name is Rei Hino
If you would like to say a prayer for them, I will be at the Tsukino Shrine most of today.
[Voice]
It sound as if you knew them well, too, Hino-san. Will you pray for them?
[Voice]
And of course I'll pray. You should too. Traveler's prayers are good fortune.
[Voice]
[He isn't sure if he wants to pray. If he does, it's like admitting they'll never come back - and that the future waiting for them is unchangeable.]
....I'll try to come by sometime then. Although I am uncertain if I am allowed on the grounds - it hasn't been a year since there was a death nearby. Wouldn't it be unlucky?
[Voice]
[Rei sniffs.]
You would be allowed. I think a lot of the rules generally don't apply here. And the shrine is dedicated to people who have come and gone, rather than any god. Since...we lack one.
[Voice]
I hope we don't disappoint you then. History books seem to write about us all so differently than I remember.
Thank you for the offer. I'll keep it in mind later on this evening after I finish at home.
[Voice]
Of course. Be well.
[Voice]
Or~ something like that.
[Voice]
[Voice]
Or would you like a different one?
[Voice]
[Cue a blush]
I'd probably choose to never eat my favorite food again. I couldn't live eating just dango.

[Voice]
[She won't say because she doesn't want to be fat...that's too Usagi.]
[Voice]
It wasn't a very good idea. I don't suggest it.
[Voice]
No, that sounds like an awful idea.
[Voice]
It was wonderful up until I became sick.
[Voice]
[...are all the Shinsengumi so weird.]
Which did you like better?
[Voice]
Especially him.]
Both. But I think the pie was better. Fruit is delicious.
Which do you like better?
[Voice]
Pie. For the same reason, I prefer fruit.
What kind of pie, Souji-san?
[Voice]
Do you have a favorite type of pie?
[Voice]
[Voice]
I've never tried to make a Western sweet before. It seems rather difficult.
[Voice]
It's not particularly difficult. I could show you sometime. It sounds harder than it really is.
