And as Hijikata put his arm around her- she grabbed on in turn, hand and arm overlapping his. A comfort Rider didn’t know she wanted as she drove the nail into her neck- a gasp of fresh pain with the blood splatter, and her hand squeezing onto his with a jolt-… is that what it felt like to have someone hold her when she was in pain?
