looking around~

[neverdespairs]

Mun,

I understand your excitement, but shouldn't you wait a bit more before looking at games? Finals are coming up and you should be concentrating on those....


You're not even sure about my "canon point"....


But I guess it would be nice to see my friends again. Especially if we didn't have to worry about witches.

...We were tricked by Kyuubey.... No... Incubator into becoming Puella Magi. Sacrificing our hopes and dreams.... just to fall into despair.

[There's.... much more than that but. She wouldn't be sure how to explain it even just simply.]

[waterfell]

[She'd also been tricked. That girl had wanted to use her only as a soldier; and if Jadeite's youma is the one to blame for having to become Sailor Mercury anyway, at least he has swallowed his pride in the years since then, and called it wrong of him.

Ami's long forgotten that the choice to transform anyway - the desire to transform anyway and fight alongside Usagi after all - had been her own.]

Will you take your vengeance on him?

[neverdespairs]

[She shakes her head]

I didn't take vengeance. But I did fight back.

[waterfell]

Either way, your enemy was defeated - or you haven't won at all. It's the same thing.

[neverdespairs]

[she shakes her head.]

If you think like that, you've let your enemy win.

[waterfell]

I'm standing in front of you. My enemy is gone. That's victory.

[neverdespairs]

[She frowns.]

But is that what you wanted to happen? Was that what you wished for?

[waterfell]

Yes. [There's an almost distant look, just for a moment, but the voice remains firm.] I wanted to destroy them.

[After, of course, making an example of them by tearing them apart from each other, to prove she'd been right they'd fallen apart anyway.

And her enemies since then, are only enemies anyway.]

[neverdespairs]

[She presses her lips together and looks into Ami's eyes. Sadness rips through her because all she can hear is Sayaka after she had fallen into despair.

In her world, Ami would have been someone she would have helped long ago... But here the rules are different.]

I see. [She closes her eyes.] Are you happier now than before you made that wish?

[waterfell]

[There's only one possible answer, of course.]

Of course. [She has power. Recognition and acknowledgment. Victory. Maybe even comrades; the shitennou have not abandoned her even when so much has changed. ]

[neverdespairs]

Then you had already despaired... [A pause] It must have been hard for you.

[waterfell]

[She doesn't know how much that means in Madoka's world, and so the girl who always knew the senshi were hopeless in the back of her mind answers the only way she can.]

I already knew it was useless. Why concern myself with it more than that?

[neverdespairs]

It's never wrong to hope. You can't give that up.

[waterfell]

I made an end to it. I'm pleased with that. [You can't get much more final than her world's answer to the problem.]

[neverdespairs]

You don't look very happy to me.

[waterfell]

Didn't you come here to talk about your mun?
