That's worse (being disappointed)! But he knows he fucked up alright. The initial disaster thread is running a little behind schedule, but right before her transformation Medusa will have sent him a telepathic plea to stop it before snapping, so he'll be frantic to find and help her afterwards (too late)!

Aw, they'll both be citystuck... what an opportunity to do some city quests! Also poor Saya; Hijikata knows how much she loves to fly! 😭 But the carpet ride might be all the more of a fun distraction for them both.

Medusa will be back to normal well before then (roughly around the 6th, I think), so while Hijikata will still be dealing with the aftermath and doing the work to earn back her trust bit by bit, he won't be actively freaking out anymore... meaning he can handle the bad news of amnesiac Saya and spend some time with her, too. He'll definitely treat her to mayonnaise!
