[She doesn't understand why he's thanking her. Sitting at her side isn't such a great thing as to be thanked for, is it..? If anyone should be thanking anyone else in this room, she should be thanking him.
...but he goes on to explain, and oh, she gets it. The time before she had set out to find her father was so lonely. She'd been with him through childhood, and had been with the Shinsengumi after going to Kyoto - but that period of time in Edo while he was gone, without him... even when she had lived here in her first life, she didn't have many close friends. Of course Kaoru has been lonely.
If he doesn't go to Kyoto the way she did, will he continue to be lonely? But if he gets involved with the Shinsengumi, he'll be in so much danger...
She takes the peach half that he offers, but doesn't eat it just yet.]
I'm very glad you like my company... I've enjoyed yours. I've enjoyed it so much. [More than she has the words to say. Even the words she has are a little much for a stranger to be saying, anyway.] If you enjoy being able to talk with me, you can talk with me whenever you want, while I'm here.
You have nothing to apologize for... you're doing me a big favor.
[Not many doctors would agree to helping a young girl poison herself into not having children! GO KAORU.]
...I was actually hoping the same thing. I'd like it if - while I'm here... if we could share all our meals together. [She looks down at the peach in her hands and smiles.] ...I'd like that a lot.
