His roommate was already there when Hijikata walked in, but aside from a cursory glance, he paid the other man no mind as he set his tray off to the side and went straight for the metal box on his half of the room. As with the previous nights, all his belongings were there--including the firestarter he'd gotten from Souji the night before. Good. That meant the younger man couldn't torment him by withholding it any longer. He pulled out the pack of already opened cigarettes and returned to his desk. From what he'd gathered, smoking was frowned upon during the day, and he wasn't sure if lighting up now would provoke someone's ire, so he decided to play it safe and wait.

Which meant he had nothing much to do than fidget in vague irritation while he waited for the doors to unlock and everyone to be set free for another night of whatever ridiculous hell this place decided to unleash.
