The bustling town square fades into background noise as Ogata’s gaze locks onto a familiar figure. He had separated from Hijikata, his mind drifting, until a flash of recognition sharpens his focus. It is the nurse from his recovery, her expression holding the same quiet kindness he remembered while she tended his broken jaw. A flicker of smug realization crosses his cold features as he steps into her path, his voice low and analytical. "... you’re the nurse."
