[He gives Sannan a warm smile. He knows it's not polite to pry into places he shouldn't be. So he wouldn't push. But that won't stop Sora from casually name-dropping Hijikata and very casually talk about how pretty neat and cool he is.

He knows they're old friends. He knows that something went really bad between them. He knows he saw Hijikata in near tears and full of regret.]

The best thing friends can do is put the past behind them. Try and make second chances, especially for people who are worth it.

[He tucks his arms behind his head. People make mistakes. Mistakes are made to be forgiven. (says the little god of forgiveness.)]

Hijikata is a really great friend. I hope you guys can settle your differences sometime. I think you're really great too.

[The forest is still silent. Everything looks the same to Sora. But he trust Sannan is taking them in the right direction.]
