II

[Hijikata doesn't really understand how he ended up in this situation. Since he currently can't go out during daylight hours (it's a long story, but the TL;DR is that Avalon is a goddamn dangerous place to be a cop in, because the criminals can and will poison you) he's generally behind on the ongoings in the kingdom, so when he read on AOL about the strange balls that were handed out to people and left them trapped inside he naturally kept an eye out for any.

And then he found one during his night patrol, pressed the button, and... here they are.]

Miss, I'm sorry, but I don't even know your name. Also could you keep your horns out of my cloak?

[One or the other of them keeps sliding behind the clasp and pulling it! He tries to adjust it for the n-th time, but at this rate he'll probably have to give up and take it off.]
