Eeeeh?! Who are you calling a "sad idiot"?!

[you, sayaka. you.]

Everybody makes mistakes, right?! I can't possibly be that bad!

Oh, no. Have you gotten a bad grade recently...?

[magarum]

[OH GOD.]

Um-- yes! A really, really bad math grade. [sayaka, you're an awful awful liar.] I, um, it was more that I was part of a study group, though. And I didn't do my part right, and messed it up for everyone else.

Just because I didn't pull my weight... everyone else had to suffer. Maybe I really am that bad.

[wee woo wee woo]

Oh, Sayaka-san, that's awful! Is there any way to fix your grades by the end of term? Perhaps if we all studied together...

[magarum]

That's the thing. It's way too late for me to fix it.

My grades, I mean. [uh huh.]

I'll-- I guess I'll just have to do better next term, won't I?

[notliketheothers]

It's okay, Sayaka-san, it's just one failed project. That can't torpedo your marks that much, can it? And if it has, well, taking a catch up class might not be so bad... and there's always next term, yes.

[pockyed]

They ain't wrong.

[ about the (sad) idiot part ]

[magarum]

That's no vote of confidence! You should be on my side!

[pockyed]

Now you're asking for too much. [ She almost feels opted flick her right on the forehead. Almost. ]

It's no good to deny the obvious, y'know that?

[losthersheep]

You're not an idiot, Miki-san. Don't ever let anyone make you think that. I know you're a strong, reliable partner.

[aheroofjustice]

That's right! Everyone makes mistakes...and we can fix them if we really try!

(True, and no this isn't a dream. There's more than one Sayaka, and she could be from before things go bad...?)
