selfimmolates | catch-all for madoka.

She seems like the type.

[based off what he knows of japanese honorifics anyway, because. english speaker here.]

That's a smaller list than I was expecting, though.

It's hard not to tell people who ask, but...

Not a lot of people have asked me.

... Well, most people probably don't expect the other party to be honest about it, so...

I'm not very good at lying...

Yes.

I've been noticing that.

You could disagree with me... To make me feel better...

[ since you other people know how to lie and all... JEEZ... ]

It's fine. I mean, for the purpose of this competition, you should learn how to lie better, but it helps me that you can't.

[so, you know.]

... And it means you didn't live a life where you felt the need to lie. It's not necessarily something to be ashamed of.

[ 'it's convenient for me that you can't lie' is!! not comforting!!

..... but that last part is, so Madoka's frown edges into a smile. ]

That's what Sayaka-chan told me once. She said - we were lucky to be fools.

[but it's true!!]

Your friend?

Mmhmm. She was one of my best friends.

[he doesn't miss the past tense, although it could be for multiple reasons, given that madoka seems. pseudo-dead.]

What was she like?

[ !! Madoka is so happy to talk about her friend! ]

Sayaka-chan was funny, and strong, and smart! She's kind, and has a strong sense of justice.

[that's why ray asked, even though he, personally, is not super invested in this person from another world he'll never meet,]

I can see how you two got along.

[ Madoka nods along, agreeable, even though she doesn't quite? follow? because she doesn't identify with those traits?? ]

Sayaka-chan could be stubborn sometimes, but I think that was a good thing.

Sounds like she was a determined kind of person.

Yes, very.

[i had a dream about madoka last night so i blame you]

My friend back home is kind of like that. Frustrating when you don't agree with what they're being stubborn about, but...

[ ur welcome ]

There... Have been times when it got her in trouble. But we agreed that it was best that she stay true to herself and make that decision, anyway.

... I guess it's best to have a future built on what you want even if it's not what others might consider the "best" option, huh?

Yes, something like that.

And there are times when we should be proud of our mistakes.

I mean, I vastly prefer being right... but I'll admit there are times when it's good to be wrong.

It's a matter of taking pride in the kind of person you'd like to be.

And I think... The kind of person you'd like to be isn't any different from who you really are, deep down.

... Of course you would say that.

...

[ not sure if insult or compliment ]

... I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing.
