Um... Let's see... I told you, Yu-kun, Senri-kun, Takaomi-kun, and Nonon-ch... Nonon-san.

I think that's it...?

[selfimmolates]

[well, first]

Any reason for the correction?

[frilly]

She said to use san.

[selfimmolates]

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.

[frilly]

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

Not a lot of people have asked me.

[selfimmolates]

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

[frilly]

I'm not very good at lying...

[selfimmolates]

Yes.

I've been noticing that.

[frilly]

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

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

[selfimmolates]

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.

[frilly]

[ '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.

[selfimmolates]

[but it's true!!]

Your friend?

[frilly]

Mmhmm. She was one of my best friends.

[selfimmolates]

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

What was she like?

[frilly]

[ !! 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.

[selfimmolates]

[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.

[frilly]

[ 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.

[selfimmolates]

Sounds like she was a determined kind of person.

[frilly]

Yes, very.

[selfimmolates]

[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...

[frilly]

[ 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.

[selfimmolates]

... 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?

[frilly]

Yes, something like that.

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

[selfimmolates]

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

[frilly]

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.
