[ He doesn't have an answer for her. Not a verbal one. He's so calm by the time she finds him, he's shoved all that pain so deep down you can't see it anywhere but his eyes, and then only if you look hard.
But he's completely lost for words, and that's probably answer enough. ]
[ That's fair... Madoka hesitates by his side for a moment longer, then gives him a tentative hug. She doesn't expect him to hug back - and it's light. She's ready to step back if he tenses up or rejects it at all. ]
I'm sorry about your friend. I tried to vote for someone else.
[ He doesn't, no. He doesn't tense up or push her away.
In the end, he drops a hand on her head, gentle. ]
I did, too. In the end, there was only one god I could vote for, and I'll have to apologize to her, too.
We all tried our hardest. Ambition... [ God. He remembers her sobs, and his heart just breaks worse. ] ... in the end, I don't think we arrived at the right answer. That's the part that hurts the worst.
[ she refrains from saying that they did get the right answer, in a way. even if by accident, it was still murder. rachel's wish is gone because she took julius's wish away, and both of them will come back alive in the end.
at least she's smart enough not to say that to a grieving friend. ]
... We definitely could have come to something better. If we had more time... Maybe if we had been faster, looking around...
... we didn't do enough. We failed them... Ambition, Fortune, Rachel. Blackfire and Hector, too. ... I don't know how we can make this up to them. All of them.
[ she kind of expected that information would be shared between them, and doesn't really mind. but still just waits for him to confirm it himself instead of saying it... ]
[ God. He's too emotional for a tiny pink to come through for him like this, because he visibly struggles for a moment with keeping his emotions in check.
In the end he'll just kind of -- reach for her? It's time for a(nother) hug. ]
I still plan to speak to my god. But I ... Kaname-san, thank you. For doing this for them.

[ So soft. ]
I promised Ambition Rachel, and then we voted for Ambition. I can't promise her a follower she'll have to eliminate. So I was going to go myself.
... do we both need to go?

Someone used their powers on me. I have to switch no matter what. So - if you don't want to...

I don't know if I deserve that gratitude. If no one had used their power on me, I don't know that I would be doing this...

Between the two of us, we would have been able to save Cunning, one way or another. For me, that's all I need to know.

I'll have to introduce myself to Cunning properly.

You're the person I always thought you were. I hope you know that.
