[Miku blinked at that] "Are you sure? Why would Miyu-san say such awful things! That's not like her!"
"I know..." [Maria sniffled]
"Maybe, sh'es under a witch curse?" [Was it possible for magical girls to be cursed by witches anyway?]
"Maybe. But I didn't see a witch mark on her."
[Miku sighed] I'll try and talk to her, figure out what's going on. But it's getting late now." [She patted Maria's fluffy hair, smiling a bit] "you should probably head home now. Your parents are worried about you."
"yeah. You're right, Miku ..." [she got up and hugged miku] "thank you"
"Any time, Maria Chan"
