The dim light of the office casts long shadows as Hijikata stands rigidly behind his commander. He steals a glance at Kondo, his stern mask slipping for a fleeting second. The air is thick with unspoken devotion and the weight of years spent training side by side at Shieikan. While he terrifies juniors with his icy glare, here, he is still as stone, watching Kondo’s every move. Kondo pauses in his writing, breaking the silence. Hijikata’s eyes sharpen, ready to serve, yet betraying a deep, hidden affection.
