[Hijikata tries not to pace the apartment too much as he waits. Honestly, he sleeps during the day a lot, because it's a little bit claustrophobic to have to stay inside or get turned into a statue. Makes him feel a little bit like a large animal in a small pen, especially since half the rooms in the flat are the kids' rooms and he can't just wander in there whenever he needs somewhere to pace.]
[So instead, he busies himself in the kitchen, heating up water for a pot of tea until he hears someone at the door.]
