Sano: .....Hey.
Sano: What are you doing....?
Heisuke: Well...
Heisuke: I'm leaving with Itou-san's group.

113
Heisuke: I quit the Shinsengumi.
Heisuke: I'm joining the Goryoueji to protect Emperor Koumei.
Heisuke: So I guess this is another goodbye.
Sano: ......
Sano: ......
Sano: What are you talking about?
Sano: C'mon, man...
Sano: The punishment is seppuku - you wanna die that badly?  What are you saying?
Heisuke: I've already obtained official permission.

114
Heisuke: Itou-san was specially appointed to form the Goryoueji.
Heisuke: He'll report directly to the magistrate, Toda Yamatonokami-san.
Heisuke: Since Itou-san has such official backing, he's being allowed to break from the Shinsengumi.
Heisuke: Kondou-san and Hijikata-san agreeded with no protest.
Sano: ......!!
SFX: *shock*
Sano: ARE YOU INSANE!?
Sano: Itou and his guys are up to no good!!
Sano: Why the hell would you go with them!?
Sano: Don't make crazy decisions like this!!
Sano: Why do you feel like you have to leave the Shinsengumi!?
SFX: *tch*
Heisuke: ...Be quiet, Harada.

115
Heisuke: It's not worth getting all worked up about.
Heisuke: We're not rebellign against the Shinsengumi or anything, we're just separating.
Sano: "Just separating!?"
Heisuke: We're not even leaving Kyoto.
Shinpachi: ......
Heisuke: I mean... it's kind of like a business trip, right?
Sano: But when will you come home?  What will you eat?  Where will you sleep?
Heisuke: We're being stationed at the Zenritsu Temple in Gojou.
Sano: Gojou...
Sano: Damn it!!  Who ordered you to do something so dumb!?
Sano: Was it Kondou!?  Hijikata!?
Heisuke: It was my idea.
Sano: WHAT!?
Sano: What were you thinking!?  I mean, you're one of us old-timers from Shieikan, right!?
SFX: *gyaaa!!*
Sano: You can't just leave!!
SFX: *sigh*
Heisuke: Come on, Harada...

116
Heisuke: I study Hokushin Ittou Ryuu sword style too, so I'm right at home in Itou's group.
Heisuke: And the work isn't exactly death-defying - we're assigned to guarding the imperial tombs.  It might even be a relaxing change of pace.
SFX: *pull*
SFX: *grab*
Sano: ...So that's it?
Heisuke: Is there some reason why I should hang around with you two all the time?  (Note: The way he says this line is really rude and uncharacteristic of Heisuke.)
SFX: *movement*
Sano: Aren't we FRIENDS!? 
SFX: *loud dramatic noise*

117
Heisuke: Yeah...
Heisuke: But the people I'm going with are my friends too.
Shinpachi: Heisuke.
Shinpachi: I'm not gonna try to stop you, 'kay?
Shinpachi: But...
Shinpachi: I just gotta ask, how many days did you really take to think about this?
Heisuke: ......
Heisuke: Shinpattsan...

118
Heisuke: It's been years.
SFX: *door closing*
Sano: ......
Sano: Damn him...
Sano: DON'T BE SUCH AN IDIOT, HEISUKE!!
Sano: WE'RE ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU!!
Pretty Boy Whose Name I Forgot: ......
Pretty Boy: ...So you really do have a foul mouth after all.
SFX: *laugh*

119
Pretty Boy: Ahh, but it all seemed a little forced...
Pretty Boy: You know?
SFX: *laugh...*
Pretty Boy: You've never pushed them away until now, have you?
Heisuke: You're pissing me off too.
Heisuke: What, were you spying on me?
Pretty Boy: Haha, not at all.
Pretty Boy: We just came to meet you.
Pretty Boy: Because Itou-sensei is already at Jouan Temple.
Pretty Boy: After all...
Pretty Boy: You're one of us now.  You're a friend.

120
Heisuke: [Friends...]
Heisuke: [Comrades...]
Heisuke: [This isn't seppuku.]

121
Heisuke: [I don't know what to do anymore...]
SFX: *swish*
[Name being crossed out: Toudou Heisuke]
SFX: *click*
Hijikata: ......
Hichikata: Tch.

122
Hijikata: Ichimura, throw this away.
SFX: *rustle*
Tetsu: .....Yes, sir.
Hijikata: ......?
Hijikata: ...That's odd.
Hijikata: You're not even reacting.
Tetsu: [...Somehow, I knew this would happen sooner or later.]
Tetsu: [It's just...]

123
[Name crossed out: Saitou Hajime]
Tetsu: ......huh!?
SFX: *grab*
Tetsu: WHY, DAMN IT!?
Tetsu: Why would you...
Tetsu: Why would you of all people join up with Itou!?

124
Saitou: ......
Saitou: Right now...
Saitou: We all have to make some hard choices.
Tetsu: "Choices"...?
Saitou: Yes.
Saitou: From now on, we must be prepared for anything.
Saitou: People are deciding where they want to go in their lives...
Saitou: They have to make the choice.
Saitou: And find their own way...
Tetsu: ...You're leaving us...
Tetsu: And all you can talk about is this destiny crap...?

125
Tetsu: Damn it!
SFX: *swipe*
Tetsu: I should have know you wouldn't understand...
Tetsu: What's going to happen to the Shinsengumi now?
Tetsu: Why can't anybody see what's going to happen to us?
Tetsu: You say you're choosing your own path or whatever, but you're just running away...
Tetsu: Whatever... I guess you won't regret leaving the bad stuff behind...
Saitou: ......
Tetsu: ...But that's all stuff we're "not supposed to talk about," right?
SFX: *looking down*
Saitou: ...It's all self-interest...
Saitou: Hehe...
Saitou: ...There is so much that you don't know.

126
Tetsu: ......
Saitou: ...Everyone's situation is different, and everyone's choices are different.
Saitou: Soon there will come a time when you must choose your path.
Tetsu: .....!?
Ryouma: You should look to the south.
SFX: *smooth movement*
Tetsu: ...Hey, it's you...!!

127
Saitou: It's a very important decision.
Saitou: You should follow your heart.
Tetsu: ......
SFX: *step*
Ryouma: That Saitou never changes, he's always weird!
SFX: *running*
Ryouma: But I, Ryouma-sama, the man of the people, will heed not those who try to arrest me!
Tetsu: It really is you!
Tetsu: How have you been? 
Tetsu: You haven't changed a bit!
Ryouma: ......
SFX: *grab*

128
Tetsu: !?
Tetsu: Huh!?
SFX: *pull*
Ryouma: I want to talk to you in private.
Ryouma: Someplace where we won't be seen.
Tetsu: ...Hey, old man!
Tetsu: That hurts...
Tetsu: Hey!  Where are we going!?
SFX: *yank*
Tetsu: .....tch.
SFX: *sound of air or something like that... I dunno*
Ryouma: Ichimura Tetsunosuke.

129
Ryouma: I came to see you.
Ryouma: I want to settle things.
Tetsu: !?  Huh!?  What are you talking about...
Ryouma: I'm no friend of the Shinsengumi.
Ryouma: And Sakamoto Ryouma is public enemy #1 to the Shogunate.  I just wanted you to know the truth.
Tetsu: ...
Tetsu: What!?  No way!!
SFX: *step*
Ryouma: ...So now you know.
Ryouma: Me and Nakaoka brought Saigou-san and Katsura-san together and formed the Satsuma-Choushuu Alliance.
Ryouma: Now, the western regions are united in supporting the Emperor and can move as one to topple the Shogunate.


130
Ryouma: There's a man in my home province of Tosa, Yamauchi Youdou-kou, who feels the same way, and he's not the only one.
Ryouma: It's just a question of "when" - the Shogunate is already on the verge of falling apart.
Ryouma: And when that happens... you Shinsengumi will share its fate.
Tetsu: Wait just a minute...
Tetsu: I guess...
Tetsu: I guess that's true...
Ryouma: When people know they're going to die, they do whatever they can to keep themselves alive.
Ryouma: Your commanding officers know they've already lost, but they can't back down.
Ryouma: That's why you need to come with me.

131
Tetsu: Wh... what, old man...?
Ryouma: Quit the Shinsengumi and come with me.
Ryouma: For you and your brother to die meaninglessly for a pathetic government... it just isn't right.
Ryouma: The world is crying under the weight of this dying country.
Ryouma: But there are people out there who have vision...
Ryouma: People like you... people who see a different world.
Ryouma: Why don't you become a Peace Maker!?
Tetsu: ...Peace...
Tetsu: Maker...

132
Ryouma: .....
Ryouma: Because you're Ryuunosuke's sons...
Ryouma: There are so many things you could do...
Ryouma: Honestly...
Ryouma: I don't know if I should involve you in all this...
Ryouma: I just don't know...
Ryouma: ......
Ryouma: ...But if you stay here...
Ryouma: You'll die.
Tetsu: Teach me.

133
Tetsu: I don't know anything...
Tetsu: I don't know about this country, I don't know what a Peace Maker is...
Ryouma: He was your father.
Tetsu: Teach me all the things I don't know... so I can make my choice.
Tetsu: I...
TetsuL I don't...
SFX: *wind*
Tetsu: I don't know anything...!

134
Ryouma: ...Alright... Your father travelled to a foreign country.
Ryouma: Even though he was relying on Shogunate support at the time...
Tetsu: Wow...
Tetsu: It's just so big...
Tetsu: But why didn't Tatsu-nii ever tell me?
Ryouma: ...Maybe he just wants you to have a safe, quiet life.
Ryouma: When you go out into the world, you won't have the comforts of your home country.
Ryouma: Dragon Boy is the only family you've got in this world.
Ryouma: It's nice to have someplace to come home to.

135
Tetsu: Home...
Ryouma: ...Yeah.
Ryouma: Just think about what I said, okay?
Ryouma: If you want to, you could come with me and get souveniers from every corner of the world.
SFX: *wind*
Ryouma: I'll wait for you.
Tetsu: Tell me one more thing.

136
Tetsu: What's a "Peace Maker?"
Ryouma: ......
Ryouma: "Peace" means *heiwa* (put japanese words in italics, I guess)
Ryouma: "Maker" means *tsukuri hito*
Tetsu: Someone... who makes peace...
Ryouma: Well, that's not the real definition.
Ryouma: [That man...]

137
Ryouma: [Deserves more than a few simple words...]
SFX: *step*
Ryouma: Next time we meet...
Ryouma: I'll tell you what it really means.
SFX: *wind rustling in trees*
Tetsu: ......
Tetsu: Someone...
Tetsu: Who makes peace...
SFK: *slide*

138
Tetsu: "Peace Maker..."
