[He does have his hands full, but the prospect of Somnus potentially staying dead and, in the worst case, moving on to the afterlife makes Hijikata's heart heavy. He'll try to convince him otherwise, but first he'll assure him that Rinea made it out of the siege unharmed.]

She's well, yes... physically. The fighting stressed her out, and the ritual to seal the Veil left her exhausted.

[He hesitates. Should he address what he knows of her encounter with Somnus during the siege? Usually he would leave it to the two of them and not interfere, but given the situation Somnus won't be able to speak with Rinea, and Hijikata can only imagine how bad he feels (if he can clearly remember the altercation now that the fog of rage has lifted).]

Rinea and I figured out that you must've been struck with the curse of Rubion in the battle. I don't know if you were able to gather this information, but it looks like the enemy had four generals, and each wielded some nasty magicö Rubion's induced some kind of berserk-like rage in people. I got ill because of something like that, too.
