can't have whump without some Amy Lee vocals [No, it's not My Immortal lol]
I felt this song fits their dynamic well, especially after years of friendship.
Unfortunately I couldn't upload the original video as tumblr was having a fit >:[ thus the watermark... and slight loss of quality
The visions had been vivid ever since Nagasone Kotetsu came home to us. I could hear whispers of the Commander and his Vice Commander, even seeing fleeting visages of them. And yet, something didn't sit right with me.
Then things began to happen. I see memories I didn't know I possessed.
I was there when I first stepped into the Shieikan. I was there when the swordsmith of Kaga entrusted me with my beloved Child Beneath the River. I was there when it rain blood in Ikedaya, and my child perished in my hand despite our victory. And I was there, in my final days, knowing too well that the cat I tried to kill would still be there in my garden.
Except…all of this shouldn't be my memories. These were all memories belonging to Shinsengumi First Captain Okita Souji.
But why did they feel too real…and too natural to me? Was I seeing my past life? That...that couldn't be it, right?

//old art of my saniwa, and the person affiliated to him the most <3
Reminder that these interim comics are a lot shorter, and are meant to portray mostly another characters POV during roughly the same time as the previous comic.
Maybe it's a bit cliché but yes, Okita and Shun knew each other since they were children
But how did they meet? Well, it was when Shun's father enrolled him in the Tennen Rishinryu dojo (it should be noted that his father enrolled him obligatorily), let's say that at the beginning they didn't talk much haha Shun was afraid of Okita 😅
