Hijikata:
I hold her hand, so small, in mine.
As our fingers intertwine, as her thick hair tangles in the crook of my neck, as her tears fall silently, one hand gripping tightly my yukata…
her lips even now refusing to say my given name, too much even as she’s shaking…
Only now do I finally understand.
