[ Without Hijikata, Kondou wouldn't have the drive that he needed to keep going. If he's honest about it, his whole world hinges on him in a way that it doesn't when it comes to other people. The Shinsengumi are all important to him, but more important still is the man that helped him to push for all of it, the man who had been by his side for longer than he could remember and helped to prop him up when he felt as though he was failing.
(Though that last part happened far more than he cared to admit, these days.)
Being here with him again made everything worthwhile, and it was something that he was grateful for. Right now, if he had any say in the matter, even if they weren't together here for very long... he was going to make sure that Hijikata wasn't alone ever again. ]
You're looking tired, Toshi. Have you been taking care of yourself?
