A brief poem based on the bonus episode “Extra Chapter On Edo” included with the Blu-ray release of “Hakuouki Hekketsuroku.” Koundo-san awaits execution. Hijikata speaks with Souji for the final time. He doesnt tell him.
That little boy spark
in the eyes of a dying man
All I wanted:
For him to grin
that impish
pestering smile
and live forever
Meaning every risk
each lie worth taking;
Should he know the truth
could even Souji understand?
