Buddha said: "Five hundred years of looking back in the past life are worth passing by in this life."
Between people, there will be fate.
It is inevitable and accidental that people can meet and know each other, or fall in love with each other. Just as Zhang Ailing said: "Among hundreds of people, when you meet the person you want to meet, in thousands of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, there are two people, neither a step too early nor a step too late. They meet like this, and there is nothing to say. They can only say softly: Oh, are you here too?"
It can be seen that there are deep and shallow edges. Deep, entangled. Shallow, forget about yourself.
So what's the deal between me and Hijikata?
... An evil fate?
It is obviously just a relationship of worship and admiration, and the possibility of intersection in life is very low. People from two different worlds will inevitably take different paths. As we go further and further away, spring grass grows everywhere. The scenery along the way was endless, and he stumbled along the way. Two completely different paths come together by mistake. Is it love or alas?
Love or regret is like a fish knowing whether it is warm or cold when drinking water.
