You have reached Oriko Mikuni; I will reply as soon as I am able.

Comments

[fortheworld]

Knowing or not knowing, the fact remains.

[justforyou]

No one would waste their wish on me.

[fortheworld]

I believed the same, Kirika... whether they do or they don't is not up to you.

[justforyou]

Why aren't you mad at me?

[If Oriko would just yell at her... it'd feel better than this somewhat calm conversation.]

[fortheworld]

It was your decision, and your right to make it.

[justforyou]

I really hurt you! And even if you say nothing's changed it's obvious that things have!

[fortheworld]

Nothing should change. I admit, I am shaken, but it will pass.

[justforyou]

You're treating me differently.

[fortheworld]

I need to get my thoughts in order.

[she stands]

It will pass.

[justforyou]

If Oriko says so...

[Kirika takes a step backwards. ...she also doesn't sound very convinced.]

[fortheworld]

I do say so.

For now, we continue as normal. It doesn't change anything.

[they still have a world to save]

[justforyou]

How could things not change?

[fortheworld]

...The world still needs saving Kirika. That's what our partnership is based on, is it not?

[justforyou]

Is that the only reason why you want me to stay?

[I CHANGED MY PERSONALITY BECAUSE I WANTED TO BE BY YOUR SIDE NOT TO SAVE THE WORLD...]

[fortheworld]

Of course not, but it should still be our main priority. This, for now, can be a secondary concern. If Kaname contracts tomorrow it will hardly mean very much.

[justforyou]

Then I'll go take care of her right now.

[Turning on her heels so she can go kill a magical girl.]

[fortheworld]

[-wait you what-]

Kirika!

[justforyou]

She might have already contracted, right? Or might be talking to that rat right now!

[Madoka Kaname is the obstacle that stands in her way and she must be eliminated. :|]

[fortheworld]

Kirika. Are you going out to kill Kaname Madoka because you feel it is the right thing to do, or are you doing so because you are angry.

[justforyou]

Does it matter?! We both know that it's the only sure thing to keep her from contracting!

[fortheworld]

It matters. We are human beings, not indiscriminate killers.

[justforyou]

I know that!

[she turns around quickly, snapping at the air. Kirika's fists are clenched at her sides.]

If she's gone then we saved the world. That's what Oriko wants, right?

[fortheworld]

[...Oriko falls silent. She doesn't have an answer for that, because there isn't one.]



...What I would prefer, is that we save as many as possible. Kaname is included in that. Call me idealistic if you will, but that is the ending I am hoping for.

We kill her if, and only if, she contracts. We have an agreement on the matter.

[justforyou]

[Kirika keeps her head lowered again, not meeting her gaze, but there's still anger in her tone.]

We aren't doing anything! All we do is fight witches when we need grief seeds, have tea, and check the community. If we're just waiting then you can at least think about what's in front of you!

I won't kill her until you say so but you can't just push aside everything else because it's not important to the 'mission'!

[fortheworld]

We are surviving, Kirika!

As Puella Magi, we run on borrowed time! It is by playing things conservative we do not run out! Whilst it is true that we cannot monitor Kaname if we ourselves are dead quite apart from that I do not want us to die.
