[Ayato is nothing if not thorough when it comes to categorising information... Hijikata really only knows that someone else died along with him, and he isn't going to be nosy about it (if he knew them, he'd have gotten confirmation already, he's sure). As for the video, asking for it would have required interacting instead of just lurking, so no!!]

Everyone knows that the Nightwake City police is unbribable!

[BOLD WORDS... but he simply can't help but feel like there's an annoying friction between him and Ayato every time they meet. Ugh. How am I supposed to tell him about the portal conspiracy shit? This guy seems so two-faced! But despite (or maybe because of) his misgivings he decides to simply be direct about it.]

I'd actually like to speak with you in private sometime soon, if possible, Ambassador.
