The shogunate orders the Shinsengumi to move their headquarters to the Fushimi Magistrate's Office to combat the Satsuma and Choshu factions. A few days later, Kondo is shot on his way back from attending a war council, leaving him on the verge of death. The news makes Okita drag himself, weakened by his illness, to Sannan's rooms.
Day by day, the battle with the Satsuma-Choshu forces grows fiercer, and the Shinsengumi is made to feel the disadvantage of their inferior numbers. Amidst all of this, Hijikata comes to a decision.
When you're with me, at least, 
you can go back to who you used to be.
عندما تكون معي، يمكنك على الأقلّ
العودة إلى طبيعتك السّابقة
In meiner Gegenwart kannst du
ruhig ganz der Alte sein.
Al menos, estando conmigo
puedes ser como eras antes.
Al menos, estando conmigo
puedes ser como eras antes.
Tu peux être comme avant,
quand tu es avec moi.
Almeno quando sei con me, 
puoi tornare com'eri prima.
Aqui, ao meu lado, você
pode ser quem você era.
Со мной вы можете быть собой.
