[The last Hijikata saw of Ayato was his most recent network post (though he just lurked as usual). Ayato clearly didn't want condolences, and the information he shared was as harrowing as it was interesting... Hijikata wonders what kind of creature it was that killed him and Kaveh, but not enough to want to find out personally - not that it'd be possible anymore with the abandoned mansion sealed off, anyway.
He shakes his head at the other man's comment.]
Oh, not at all. You probably just got fewer because people were afraid it might count as bribery.
[Like that would apply to a politician, but not to a policeman?! Instead maybe it's a factor that his patrol took him all over the district. Just maybe.]
