oh boy,

I guess at first, Kanesan was relieved to find that Higekiri and the others were there with him! It, uh, didn’t really last because Higekiri has a habit of stressing him out with how lackadaisical he can be, laughs. Kanesan believed that since they had almost a full team ANYWAY, they should absolutely work together AS a team to try and find a way to get home! It was a natural assumption as a member of the Shinsengumi, so he just… assumed it would be easy enough for the rest of them, too.

AND THEN IT WASN’T which partially was for ooc reasons which I’m absolutely fine with, but Kanesan was very frustrated about it! He didn’t even care (much) that Higekiri couldn’t get his name right (he’s seen that Hige can’t even remember Hizamaru 99% of the time so, like, whatever); he was more upset about how these swords weren’t working well as a team.

Hige’s memory issues were a frustrating in trial, and sometimes so were his other shenanigans, but honestly despite all of that, Kanesan feels a healthy amount of respect for Higekiri as a sword and a sword warrior. Hige’s one of the oldest swords around, and the legends surrounding him can’t all be untrue, right? And Kanesan trusted both Genjis to be able to handle the threat of demons better than any of them, because he knows while Hige is just Like That most of the time, he won’t let it get in the way of the mission when it really counts, and that’s what matters most.

So when Hige also approached him about his role, Kanesan’s respect for him rose greatly. Yeah, he knew Hige wasn’t ignoring everything going on around him, but he was still a little surprised at how much information he’d managed to gather without letting the rest of them know anything! (And a little annoyed by that, but you know.) He was impressed, and delighted that Higekiri was living up to the legends.

And uhhhh then he died! Then Hiza died! And Kanesan spent most of his time worrying about Hiza who was in turn worrying about Hige, so he kept a close eye on him during the trials even though he couldn’t do anything from the island. And when Beck joined them there and told the group that Higekiri was possessed by a demon… well, that was kind of devastating in a number of ways, but part of Kanesan was a little relieved that, if things went as he expected, the Genji brothers would be reunited. Even though it would mean they had both died, he knew bad it felt to be separated from the people you love, so… would it really be so bad, as long as they were together?

For better or worse, though, the ritual worked, meaning they would have to stay separated, so once again Kanesan felt worried about how Higekiri would handle it. Hizamaru at least had Prompto, but he didn’t know if Hige had anyone who would matter enough to help him through losing Hiza, and… yeah, in a way, he felt like he understood the pain they were both going through, leaving his own brother and his partner behind in the citadel.

However, Kanesan knows that if there is anyone who will never give up on them, it’s Higekiri. Sure, it’s probably out of a personal interest more than anything, but that counts! So he’s glad that it’s Higekiri on the other side, with Junpei and some of the others, because that’s the combination that he believes will work best to find a good solution for them without leaving their worlds prey to the demons.
