[It's a kind request, and there's gratitude in Yasusada's smile as he thinks it over.]
It's hard to choose one, but... one night, Okita-kun was sitting with Kondou-san--ah, he was our Commander. The Shinsengumi--during their time, they weren't well-liked, especially at first. For a while they were called "the wolves of Mibu". Okita-kun was really upset about it at first. But Kondou-san pointed up at the sky and told him, "look, Souji, do you see? That's Sirius, the dog star. It's the brightest star in the sky. Isn't that perfect for us, the wolves of Mibu? We'll be wolves that shine brightly in the darkness." And he laughed so happily, the way he always did--it really cheered Okita-kun up.
After that, Okita-kun was really fond of looking up at the stars at night. Especially Sirius.
