Summary
Gintoki chose not to leave the yorozuya. He chose to stay by their side and hide his discomfort, hide the blood he coughed down the drain every morning, ignore the cramps and dizziness. He's good at lying, but all lies come to the surface. His time has ran out. You can't pretend the scythe licking your neck isn't real - you can't cheat death.

Summary
Humans can become monsters when they are labelled as such, though in fact they are misunderstood. But people are not so willing to learn and stay ignorant to truth. Thus, children can become demons. Hijikata stumbles upon one such child, a crow preying off corpses on an empty battlefield. He does not fear the bloodstained yukata he adorns, nor the blazing red eyes. He is transparent, however, and that is just a little terrifying.
