...Thank you. [His voice is steady when he speaks, but it's soft, and understandably sad.] Okita-kun, he... [He pauses, struggling internally--but will Okita ever find out? Probably not.] ...he doesn't... handle loss very well, and he always blames himself for things like this. Fukuchou's death, too. [No matter how much Yasusada had tried to tell him it wasn't his fault, Okita hadn't believed him. He'd simply tried to hide his feelings in an attempt to spare Yasusada's, and that had only made them both more miserable.] I don't know if he'll believe you, or anybody, but... I'd like it if he knew this wasn't his fault. It might help to hear it from other people.
