[ Hearing this... actually kind of hurts. Not in a bad way, but it still hurts. Among Itou's men, he didn't fit in. Neither he nor Saitou did, really, and the others made sure he knew it. Jabs and barbs and outright accusations were an everyday occurrence, and who could blame them for it, really? He'd abandoned one group to go with another, so what was keeping him from abandoning them just like he did the Shinsengumi? The order of isolation -that he wasn't able to speak to those he'd left behind at all- had felt like a test of some sort, like they were waiting for him to break the rule so that they could see him disciplined. He'd tried his best to follow it, really he had... and he'd only slipped that one time when he'd met Chizuru in the street at the festival. He'd given her a message to pass on to the others, but he hadn't even been able to deliver it in properly, having to skirt things instead just in case someone was listening.
To know that Shinpachi still thought of him as a friend even after everything... it hurt. It really hurt to think that he'd doubted them. ]
Shinpattsu-san...
[ And instead of saying anything else, he shuts the CereVice off and instead sets himself to track Shinpachi down. Allowing Heisuke to find him will mean he's getting a really awkward hug and apology. Not for the picture, because really, he's not sorry for that, nor is he sorry for basically telling everyone that Sano and Shin are dating, but for doubting him at all. ]
