I don't know. [ Quietly, as if he feels personally responsible for the fact that he is unable to provide Gintoki with useful information for once. ] But I suppose for someone who can not be touched, having access to our innermost secrets is not much of a stretch.
[ At first it seems like Gintoki has no intention of moving or otherwise reacting, but after a few moments he leans to the side until he's resting against Katsura, head somewhere against his shoulder. And he'll just. Stay like this for a while.
He's already resigned himself to the fact that he never will be free of the struggle. This isn't the kind of thing that passes. It just dulls. Gets a little better.
Then there are days like this. Or weeks like this. ]

But it's not a no. ]
no subject
[ Indeed, that is not a no. ]
[ So he'll just shuffle closer and wrap his arms around him. ]
no subject
Close his eyes and just ... stay. ]

We'll get through this, Gintoki.

[ Same as always.

no subject
