...Wait, did this all happen before your family moved here, or...???...
[Kyoko sighed a bit, then.]
- Oh, it was before we moved - We couldn't stay at our old church after Papa got kicked out, of course - We didn't own it, they did.
...And then, somebody told Papa and Mama about this old abandoned church in the middle of a former swamp that was up for sale, and well...
[Kyoko groaned, then, and slumped on the sofa.]
- I really do wonder how they managed to buy it, even if it was unbelievably cheap, now that I think about it, but my father used to have - fans, once upon a time. He was, what do you call it, charismatic, yanno?
[And then, she sighed, and started to eat an apple.]
...Yanno what? I liked our old church, and our old organization. One of Papa's fellow Pasters had dogs, and he used to let us play with 'em. But then, Papa started to act weirder and weirder, and...I...I really tried to make myself believe that he was right, and I still think he wasn't wrong, in many ways, but I...I...
[Kyoko ate the apple, and slumped down again.]
- But I went and made that stupid Wish like a stupid idiot, and things got real better for a time. All of our sudden, our little church filled up with people, and Papa and Mom were so happy - And in the meanwhile, I was hangin' out with Tomoe Mami and having fun, two Magical Girls fighting the good fight.
And so I was happy. For a while.
[Sayaka looked at Kyoko, then, and bit her lip.]
...So what happened then, Sakura Kyoko?
[Sayaka's eyes went hooded again.]
- One day, Papa caught me running about in my Magical Girl outfit, and like a damn idiot, I just went and told him about what I'd did, and the Wish I made.
...He cracked, after that. Kept telling me I'd sold my soul away for baubles, and that I'd never thought his religious ideas and philosophies were worth anything at all, which wasn't quite true, but there was just enough truth in there for it to hurt, I suppose - I mean, I didn't really care about them as much as he did, and I did miss our old church - well, the whole religious organization, I mean - a lot.
