( Office )Office:

Hijikata's office is on the second floor, near the classrooms. It's small, with just enough room to cram a desk, a chair, and some bookshelves into.

He's made the most of it. His desk has drawers full of blank documents and class materials, and the shelves are packed with history books. On the wall, there's a single, tasteful scroll of calligraphy, and there's a small bonsai Japanese plum tree in the windowsill.

There is also a cat bed in here, with a couple of toys and a blanket that looks suspiciously like a modified old sweater lying in it.
