[ Word had already gotten out about people being in prison, so Gintoki didn't risk texting out to anyone or really using his watch device at all. Gin knew he wouldn't be there for Nico, but he also didn't want to message her and make her worry about him. When he receives a message, though, he isn't sure if she knows about what has happened to them.
Instead of explaining his predicament, he responds. He doesnt respond with a snarky remark or an insult like he usually does. He gave Nico his word that he would do this for her, and yet, here he is— covered in blood and dirt and feeling nothing but hunger. Gintoki doesn't seem panicked over the fact he could get in trouble by talking to her.
She deserves his time, as risky as it is, after all of this: ]
nico-chan, i know you performed well. with how you speak and how i see what drives you. i don't need to see you perform to understand. i can already see it in who you are.
i'm sorry. [ After all, you did get him to smile without singing and dancing. ]
