Hijikata may not have posted to Emerald's prank livestream (Rei is his best [read: only] dark web liason; he wants to stay on good terms with him!), but he lurked that with some schadenfreude. 🍿🍿🍿 It's not so bad if it happens to someone else, especially if it's this cheeky old man!

I'm not sure how sensible it'd be to put these two together in the event since they'd basically both olly out at the mercy test (and in Rinea's case he'd totally enable her to sit out the courage test since he wouldn't want her in the kamaitachis' path)... RIP. But speaking of Rinea's workaround, should we handwave that he helped her with her first familiar fusion? He went on such a tangent about the different methods that we never got around to that!
