[Sometimes she couldn't help but marvel at how brilliant the days still seemed despite the growing storm shaking the country. Whatever horrors plagued the streets of Kyoto during the nights, people still went on about their lives, peacefully living out their days without a single care beyond the mundane, everyday kind.
It made her a little bit jealous, at times. But it was this everyday happiness what the Shinsengumi so tenaciously tried to protect, this daylight-spell that they worked tirelessly to preserve, and so more often than not, her jealousy melted quickly under the warmth of such responsibility.
Because she may not be of the Shinsengumi, but she still wants to fight with them.
It is with these thoughts that she walks through the streets and into a little shop, doing for once the tasks a supposed page should do. It is a refreshing change of pace from being locked away or out in patrols, not so different to the little jobs her father used to make her do once upon a time in Tokyo, and the similarity is enough to warm her without hurting herself with memories of a time that now seems so very far away.
Stepping out with a parcel firmly held against her chest, she stops a moment to look at the clear blue sky, oblivious to the presence following her, and smile.
I'm so sorry for the delay! Work has been crazy and I kinda lost the notif?? I'M SORRY D8
