Sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you jumped to conclusions. I guess I went into denial for a moment.
[Hijikata saw other people announce the disappearance of friends on the network before, but this is the first time it concerns somebody he knows, and it's hard to process that Karma is just gone. He'll miss him as a sparring partner and a good companion, and he'll always remember how Karma prevented him from hurting or killing civilians during the debacle with King Majestas.]

[He can't know for sure, and Asakura's voice doesn't let it on, but it stands to reason that she was close friends with Karma - otherwise they probably wouldn't have remained roommates -, so he can imagine that his disappearance is hitting her even harder. He's not very good at consoling people, and maybe she doesn't even want to hear it, but he at least wants to try.]
Not to talk your ear off, but the last time I saw him he told me about his classmates and teacher back home and what they all accomplished together. I'm sure he told you more about his home world than me, but if nothing else I think we can be happy to know that he's going back to a place where he's welcome.
