—that feeling is mutual, right down to Hijikata being the last person he has. Souji lashes out and blames Hijikata for Kondou's death at about every opportunity and then some that he can. But, the truth is that the only one he can blame, at the end of the day, that he can truly find substance to stand on in the darkest spans of his mind, is himself. He wasn't there, he should have been there. It never should have had to fall on Hijikata's shoulders alone for a decision like that because if he had been there...
...surely things would have turned out different, right?
Souji doesn't follow up immediately, taking a good long look at Hijikata and his defensive position. When he moves, it's to the side, letting his sword swing down from an attack stance, his movements starting to circle about the other.
"Hijikata-san should reassess this stupid decision of his." This bullshit decision to play defense like something's going to change by doing so. Someone's going to end up dead, regardless.
