I had been thinking I'd go to Beauty, because they said that they're friends with Sincerity... But I feel bad for Cunning.

[selfimmolates]

Have you ever spoken to him?

[frilly]

Not yet, but I will.

[ She pauses to munch a little. After swallowing, she blurts out: ]

Sometimes I think about how easy it would be to do more in this contest, since everyone thinks of me like I wouldn't. It makes me feel really guilty just imagining it.

[selfimmolates]

[... well, okay. that's all?]

Don't be. That's a normal thing to think.

[the awkward part now is that he has no idea if madoka knows he basically drugged her.]

[frilly]

[ she does not. her shoulders droop. ]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to complain like that.

[ she really didn't mean to! what a mystery!! ]

[selfimmolates]

[hmm. a part of ray wants to, like. apologize. but he's also not sure if it's a great idea to let madoka know?]

Everyone needs to vent once in a while.

[frilly]

That's true... But I shouldn't put that on you.

S-so, um... Even trade - is there anything you need to vent about?

[ she sounds like she already knows how silly that suggestion is but okay ]

[selfimmolates]

I don't really mind.

[she wouldn't be the first??]

Nope.

[frilly]

Ehh...

[ so cold ]

[selfimmolates]

I'm fine. Worry more about people like Senri or Takaomi.

[frilly]

I worry about them a lot.

[selfimmolates]

And this weekend has just made that worse, right?

[frilly]

Yeah... They keep getting into trouble. And they don't tell me anything, so I can't help.

B-but, um, it seems like they have lots of other friends looking out for them too, so... That's good.

[selfimmolates]

... Does it hurt?

[frilly]

No! No, of course not!

[ . . . ]

[selfimmolates]

[he stares like he doesn't believe that.]

[frilly]

I want my friends to have friends...! And, you know, everyone is allowed to have secrets, there's nothing wrong with that!

[selfimmolates]

So you're saying it doesn't sting that they won't rely on you?

[frilly]

... Maybe.

But they're not - they don't have to. No one has done anything wrong.

[selfimmolates]

They don't have to, no. Still... have you ever told them about how you feel?

[frilly]

. . .

[selfimmolates]

... Do you ever talk about your feelings?

[asks ray, who never talks about his feelings, but.]

[frilly]

I talk about my feelings all the time...!

[selfimmolates]

Non-mushy feelings.

[frilly]

I think this is a hard enough time without them having to worry about something like that.
