HMMM a good question. It could do something worse or not work at all or anything really, though I think maybe for our purposes it'll be better if it works...so we can make him stop killing...LMAO. Maybe let's say they get lucky on this occasion and it actually does its job, though if you wanted to suggest any additional side-effects I'm amenable....ahaha.

That would be a fun conversation to have, I think! And then if Hijikata reports it he can at least argue against having him put down because of the other reports or idk, he can notice it as a nanotech malfuntion or something! Also mentioning other reports and looking into it to comfort Gio...that's cute .///.
