[Somehow, she couldn't bring herself to believe those words that came out of her mouth right now. Nothing happened...no, she barely remembered those words of her being a fool, and...everything from then on seemed to have just disappeared from her mind. But even so...for Kyouko to say something like that, and to actually reassure her that nothing did seem to happen to her...actually made Sayaka's expression lighten up a bit.]

...you're right, I'm still me, aren't I? The person who's talking to someone like you. [She let out a small giggle, actually moving her hand to Kyouko's shoulder and giving it a little shove herself. Yeah, she's...herself once more, not that shell of a person she had become. She could actually be true to herself instead of cast away everything else.

...like her friends who tried to help her.]

Is Madoka okay? I didn't want her to see me like that at all...she must hate me too for what I did to you guys. But...I shouldn't worry too much about that for now, shouldn't I?

[But still, Madoka was her best friend...and she refused help from her...what was she to even do about something like that?]
