Oh. Well. Tachibana's there. Hajime tries to casually hold the bleeding hand as best he can. It is not at all awkward. Nope, definitely not at all awkward. At least he too seems more relaxed somehow, if only because the fifteen-plus years following the Battle Fight, plus losing his powers, have helped him mellow somewhat.

It doesn't take him long at all to guess at why Tachibana's surprised at seeing him. Not with the wound. "...we were going to call you. Just...never got the chance before whatever this is happened."
