[Madoka looked at Sayaka, then, thinking - And that was when, suddenly, a feeling of dread hit her. Something had happened, after the battle at Hatsune Miku's concert, she remembered herself threatening to make a Contract herself if Sayaka ever dared to -]
[And then, Madoka shook her head, and took a deep breath.]
...It's OK, Sayaka-chan.
[Sayaka looked at her, quizzically.]
- You think so? I mean, I feel better then I have in ages, so I'm not all that worried, but the lack of power...
[Madoka nodded at her, trying to make herself smile reassuringly.]
...Yes, I do. I mean, it's really wonderful that you don't really seem to need Grief Seeds anymore, don't you think? And even if your magical power levels are down - I mean, it's not like you have to worry about getting more Grief Seeds anymore, and you can still transform, so you can help the other Magical girls fight and all that.
[Sayaka grinned at that.]
- That's true, I suppose. I still have a couple of spare Grief Seeds left, just in case, but I haven't used them at all since the battle at the concert.
[And then, she smiled widely.]
And besides, I have more important stuff to worry about now, like Kyosuke and stuff! I mean, I finally did manage that love confession after all, ha ha ha...
[Madoka nodded again, and made herself smile, and then, they talked about all kinds of things, eating pizzas and salads and other things.]
[Madoka walked home after that by herself, thinking. Kyoko-san and Mami-san had just seemed to have gone off the rader, too, and Madoka herself had barely noticed that they weren't around anymore.]
...So if that Sayaka-chan...wasn't really the real Sayaka-chan...
[Madoka mumbled - And then, she rubbed at her temples, thinking.]
- But even if she isn't the original Sayaka-chan, she's still a Sayaka-chan, and she's still my friend! What in the world should I do???
