It's the grand finale and Shoto is a knight for it!! Indeed, being forced to target each other will make for some unexpected drama (though I also have full faith that Shoto can counter any attack from Hijikata)!

Honestly, normally I might just have RNG'd what happens with Hijikata and if he even survives the final mission, but I'm not doing that to Shoto. ♡ He'll get to see his (former) sensei off alive and (ideally) in one piece!
